Priory Meadow, St. Neots
On the edge of the thriving market town of St. Neots, a picturesque and friendly community straddling the River Great Ouse, Priory Meadow presents a superb selection of high quality contemporary houses in a quite exceptional location. Within a few minutes’ walk of the beautiful town centre, with its waterside parks and traditional market-place, the development is also a strategically situated commuter base with excellent road and rail links. The A1 is just a mile from the homes, and Cambridge is a 40-minute drive away.

Local history
While there is evidence that the area was settled as long ago as the Bronze Age, the community of St. Neots dates back to the 10th century, when a small monastery was founded by Earl Alfric to house the bones of St Neot, which were reputed to have miraculous powers. The town grew in importance as a trading centre, with the first bridge, constructed of 73 timber arches, being built in 1180. Today, the town’s heritage is reflected in its busy 12th-century market square, one of the largest in England, and the houses, which surround it as well as the ancient churches and the many traditional inns. The area’s past is interpreted and celebrated in St. Neots Museum in the town centre.

Outdoor activities
The pleasant countryside setting, and the parks and riverside walks within the town, make St. Neots an exceptionally attractive home for people who enjoy outdoor pursuits. Local walks range form the informative Town Trail, an entertaining introduction to the locality, to the more demanding challenges of the Ouse Valley Way. The river is a popular focus for fishing, picnicking and pleasure-craft, with several marinas within the town boundary. St. Neots is also renowned for rowing and hosts an annual regatta each July. There is a nearby nature reserve at Paxton Pits, with a visitor centre, nature trails and bird-watching hides.

Entertainment
The Priory Centre in the town provides a lively programme of performing arts and exhibitions, from wrestling and touring shows to discos and local drama productions.

For an even wider choice, Peterborough and Milton Keynes are both within 40-minutes’ drive.
