Relocating to Cambridge

[Rosiepooh75]

Hi All
I may be relocating to Cambridge for my existing employer early in 2017. I am looking at renting in the surrounding villages.

Looking for somewhere nice, safe, family-oriented (I have 2 children), with good schools and at least basic amenities.
I would ideally like to ride my bicycle to work, so a 30ish min ride, if possible. This obviously ranks below the other criteria.

Any first-hand recommendations are very welcome.
Any suggestions re. living in Cambridge will also be much appreciated!

Thanks!!

Some of the villages are limited in facilities for older children and rural bus services have been / are being cut. If you don't want to be running a taxi service for your children until they are able to drive and afford a car, then try to find somewhere to live which is near-enough to town to cycle, or within walking distance of a station or the guided busway.
