kerouacsdog Says: Waterbeach is the home of a large military barracks(not sure what squadron, but will find out).So, naturally, the village is full of army men/squaddies, especially the pubs, but, apart from the odd high jinx are no trouble at all, and very friendly, and in my opinion the...
kerouacsdog Says: At the end of 1999 all the kids in the village of Waterbeach were invited to plant a tree for the Millenium celebrations. There's about 3000 trees planted, but I'm not sure if there's that many kids in Waterbeach!My niece's and nephew's tree are the brown ones in the...
kerouacsdog Says: This old house is next to the Bridge Inn. I haven't really done it justice in this photo, will have a better one soon.
View from bridge next to the Bridge Inn
kerouacsdog Says: This bridge goes over the river Cam, and is right next to the bridge Inn(see Restaurant tips).This pub and location is amazing in the summer in an evening, sat outside next to a river, watching the boats go by. I can picture it now.......
kerouacsdog Says: This church is on the corner of the main road as you approach the village green.Some of the gravestones are dated to over 500 years ago.
kerouacsdog Says: These signs have been on the side of this house for ever, as 80 years ago it was the village shop.Now it's a private house
Georgian style house along the main road
kerouacsdog Says: Another house in the village, just near the thatched cottage from before. There are lots of styles of accomodation in this village, from buildings built 800 years ago to modern houses.

Slap Up Tandoori: Great Indian

Beach Fryer: Good old british grub

The White Horse: Curry restaurant in back of pub

The Bridge Inn: Lovely food, beautiful setting
kerouacsdog Says: Haven't eaten in here yet, but heard it's very good. Will update this when I've eaten in there! Food and beer, nothing better!
DemonTraitor Says: Good old fashioned local pub. Great beer, people, pool table, Indian Restaurant etc.The pub also has a garden which contains a childrens play area with activity frame etc. No dress code.
kerouacsdog Says: ah, the humble chippy, every town should have one, and most do. This one, however, is a bit special. The cod and chips are out of this world, big portions, and lovely drenched in salt and vinegar after a night on the local ale. Clothes, although I've never tried to order...
DemonTraitor Says: Waterbeach has quite a regular train service that frequents Cambridge and Ely, and beyond.
Waterbeach Village stores: Village shop

DemonTraitor Says: If you are into walking you can follow great paths from Waterbeach to Ely or Cambridge. The footpaths are very picturesque and follow the River Cam.You do not even have to stick to the river, as there are plenty of turn-offs taking routes along the many drainage channels...
