It was a hard-fought contest among Cambridgeshire’s finest towns and villages, but your votes in the inaugural Muddy ‘Best Places to Live’ competition have now been counted and…*drumroll*…. we’re delighted to announce that the worthy winner is:

Cambridge

Cambridge is renowned all over the world for being one of the most beautiful cities to visit, so it’s no wonder that those who live there love it so much. The majestic colleges, the river running through the centre, and the many green spaces make it a very gentle, yet lively place to be. The last few years have seen a move away from the homogenized high street and now you are spoilt for choice with funky cafes in which to enjoy your flat white. There is every cuisine from tapas to toasties, from fine dining to delicious street food. Cocktail bars, local festivals, quirky boutiques, outdoor cinema, eco stores, super schools, hip hotels, and hot new homes are all part of this historic city these days. Cambridge is well and truly one of the most desirable places to live not just in the region, but in the country.
