Huntingdon
Anyone familiar with the area around Huntingdon?
My son and his family live in Ely and I am attracted by the fishing on Grafham water and have always fished at Rutland so the area seems ideal to me. With the current AUD/GBP exchange rate I am tempted to return to the UK. I would not need to work nor worry about a mortgage. I would be grateful for any opinions. |

Nobody live there?
...or are you all trying to spare me the dire news?:lol: |

No idea about the area, but good luck with your plans.
TBH I chose that place very much by sticking a pin in the map:lol: Although the general area has a lot to attract me. I am, by no means, fixed on that area or even on a date to return It is all under consideration |

I would love to return to the area as my daughter and family live in Cambridge and it would be an ideal place to live. However, my US husband does not want to live in the UK, so I'll have to stay here. Good luck and I hope you decide to return to the UK - family is everything and I've come to realise this as I've got older. |

Look at Houghton, beautiful little village. Between Huntingdon and St Ives. Great pubs, beautiful old houses.
Early days yet but with the exchange rate we could set up quite nicely:thumbup: I will have a look round when we go over in April |

I used to live in Huntingdon, near Hinchingbrooke House and park. I enjoyed the time there from 1994 - 1997. It's cheaper than living in Cambridge and there is a good rail service to London. There are some nice villages around Grafham Water.

Re: Huntingdon
Looks like an OK area to me. The villages around there are very pleasant and if you are closer to St Ives there is a guided bus service now to Cambridge so the area is quite accessible.
I am loving Cambridge but living in the parental house so not needed to pay for a house - real estate prices here have gone down a bit but are still very high in the scheme of things. Apart from a lack of hills (which doesnt really bother me) the area has pretty much everything you need within cooee |

Is Huntingdon the place with the massive, and ever so slightly controversial, animal testing lab?
