Location - Snailwell
Snailwell is a charming village located in East Cambridgeshire, just 2.5 miles north of the famous horse racing town of Newmarket, around 12.5 miles from Ely City, approximately 16 miles from Bury St Edmunds, and around 17 miles from the historic city of Cambridge. It benefits from very good transport connections, with the A14 close by, and offers the tranquillity of village life while in reach of urban amenities. 

St. Peter's Church is an 11th-century structure with a distinctive round tower, one of only two in Cambridgeshire, and is a large part of the community, offering regular services and events for all the family.

The George and Dragon pub has been serving the village since before 1834 and provides a cosy and friendly environment, offering a selection of real ales and fine wines. The pub also has a large beer garden, perfect for summer gatherings. There are also several musical nights which regularly take place.

The village’s proximity to Newmarket means residents have access to many other amenities, including the train station offering regular services to Cambridge, London Kings Cross, and Ipswich. There are also leisure centres, sports clubs, dentists' and doctor’s surgeries, a hospital, shops and supermarkets, pubs and restaurants, equestrian facilities, and highly regarded schools for all ages.

For homebuyers seeking a peaceful village within easy reach of larger towns and cities, we recommend giving Snailwell a visit!
