Waterbeach-An English village

Waterbeach

Sign on village green
Waterbeach, 5 miles from Cambridge.
There's no beach, there is a lot of water(2 rivers), but what this village has is charm, friendliness, pretty cottages, and a good old-fashioned community spirit, where everyone knows everyone.
I'm lucky, in that my sister and her family live here, so I get to come here and stay a lot, but until I took my camera out, I didn't realise how beautiful this village is, and how lucky that my sister can bring up her family in such a nice and safe place.
(These following photos will be updated in the summer, my camera was having an off-day! Or maybe I was!)

Pros:"Very friendly people, beautiful cottages, surrounded by lovely countryside"
Cons:"City people buying up weekend homes and destroying the community"
In A Nutshell:"Quaint English Village"

 Until now I had never heard about Waterbeach. It seems to be a charming village. Thanks for telling us about it.
