Life by the lake
The beautiful landscape sets Waterbeach apart. From the 23 acre lake to dappled woodland and wide-open green spaces, nature runs through the core of this place, hand in hand with everything else you need for an exceptional quality of life.
With a thriving, diverse community in a sustainable and well-connected location, Waterbeach is a truly special place to call home.
The new community, just north of Cambridge, will be delivered in phases with everything you need: homes, primary and secondary schools, green space for nature, play and sport as well as a sustainable travel hub, extensive footpaths and cycle connections, and a health centre, shops, cafés and other community facilities.

Thrive in nature
Take a stroll around the extraordinary lake at the heart of the development, sit next to the water’s edge and see if you can spot a kingfisher. Or pick up the pace for a morning circuit around our Lake Loop, a 1km circular route that connects to a network of walking and cycling routes throughout Waterbeach and into the wider area and countryside beyond.
Connected to it all
With 20 new kilometres of cycleways to support the first phase, Waterbeach will be one of the most sustainable places to live. The sustainable travel hub supports residents to make positive choices to get about on bike, bus, or through our car share scheme. Find out more about the new Mere Way cycle route, the improved cycle connection along the A10, or the new shuttle bus service to the station and on to Cambridge.
Explore the Woodlands
At Waterbeach inspirational and accessible play areas provide children with a magical space to let their imaginations run wild as they explore, play and make friends. Wild Woods provides a range of play features inspired by the habitat of our hero species: the hedgehog, while imaginations can run wild at The Glade, where seed sculptures provide quieter spaces to escape to nature: for the young at heart of all ages.
Nature at heart, urban in spirit
For those looking to pick up the pace, the military legacy of the Barracks has been transformed into a series of spaces to flex your muscles or enjoy activities with friends: from paddleboarding on the lake, to badminton in the Sports Hall, or sweating it out on the squash courts.
The Playground has overhauled the original army assault course, adding hurdles, hangover walls, monkey bars and log leaps as well as a cargo net crawl, Ninja Warrior ramp and lots of muddy ditches!
Nestled in nature
Waterbeach has been designed not just for people, but to support new habitats for nature. The green spaces which run throughout the development will deliver a net gain for nature through key ecology areas. Alongside this, within the walks and woodland you can see hibernacula and pollinators to support a range of species, as well as bat and bird boxes on the homes and within the surrounding trees.
Discover what's on at Waterbeach
Life at Waterbeach is full of energy, health and opportunity. Waterbeach has a strong legacy of community which will be enhanced and built upon within the new development. This spirit provides the nucleus of a modern, sustainable and well-connected new settlement.
