Road and air

• Cambridgeshire stretches fifty miles from the counties abutting London in the south almost to the Wash, forming the part of the western edge of the East of England region. The famous university town of Cambridge is just 54 miles from London on the M11, and Huntingdon on the A1 only 62 miles. The county is conveniently placed for both the transport of goods to Europe via the east coast ports and for travel to all parts of Britain; and via London’s airports, for business travel to Europe and the rest of the world. Major road and rail routes link this part of the region to London, Harwich, Felixstowe, the Midlands and the North. Heathrow and Gatwick are readily accessible via the M25 and Stansted, London’s rapidly expanding third airport, is less than 30 minutes' drive on the M11 from Cambridge. Most of the county's trunk road system is motorway or dual carriageway standard.

Rail

• Two intercity rail lines from London run through the county. There are some 80 trains each way every weekday between Cambridge and King's Cross and Victoria Stations in London. Journey times are about one hour on the direct trains. Ely is on the Cambridge line and St. Neots and Huntingdon on the East Coast main line.
