Welcome to Red Lodge

Red Lodge is a small village located in the county of Cambridgeshire, England. The village is situated approximately 10 miles east of Cambridge and 5 miles north-west of Newmarket. Red Lodge is a relatively new village, having been built in the 1990s to accommodate the growing population of the area. The village is home to a range of amenities, including a primary school, a community centre, a village hall, and a number of shops and restaurants.

One of the main attractions of Red Lodge is its proximity to the beautiful countryside of Cambridgeshire. The village is surrounded by rolling hills, lush green fields, and picturesque woodlands, making it an ideal location for outdoor activities such as hiking, cycling, and horse riding. The nearby Wicken Fen Nature Reserve is also a popular destination for nature lovers, offering a unique opportunity to explore one of the last remaining areas of undisturbed fenland in the country.

Despite its rural location, Red Lodge is well-connected to the rest of the region. The village is situated just off the A11, which provides easy access to Cambridge, Newmarket, and the M11 motorway. The nearby town of Mildenhall is also home to a large US Air Force base, which has helped to bring a diverse range of people to the area. Overall, Red Lodge is a charming and welcoming village that offers a peaceful and relaxed way of life, while still providing easy access to the amenities and attractions of the surrounding area.
