The county of Cambridgeshire is famous the world over for the historic city of Cambridge, with its highly-esteemed university, many historic museums, and beautiful green countryside. However, Cambridgeshire is also home to a wide variety of quaint villages and small market towns, so for those looking to put down their roots in this area, there are places beyond Cambridge that are still popular to live in. 

The average property price in Cambridgeshire is £336,000. Prices fall below this in some of the cheaper areas of the county, such as the popular market town of Wisbech where some properties go for around £185,000. Unsurprisingly, Cambridge is one of the more expensive places to live in the county, as is the village of Grantchester, which was home to the television series of the same name. Home movers can expect prices closer to £700,000 in such areas, with some properties costing more or a little less. 

While properties in Cambridgeshire can fall on the pricey side, there are many reasons to consider moving into the county. Those looking for a city life will gravitate towards Cambridge or locations that are in close proximity to London, while those looking for a slower-paced way of living will choose one of the many scenic towns or villages. 

The county is simply teeming with attractions that cater to people of all ages. Highlights include Shepreth Wildlife Park, the Cambridge University Botanic Garden, and the Fitzwilliam Museum which is overflowing with Greek, Roman, and Egyptian treasures. There is much more to recommend, not least the glorious countryside and navigable waterways that are perfect places to explore for those with a love of the outdoors.
