Fordham is a pretty parish village situated in rural Cambridgeshire, 4 miles north of Newmarket and close to the settlements of Soham, Burwell, Isleham, Mildenhall and Chippenham. It is also 17 miles from the city of Cambridge and 19 miles from Bury St Edmunds.

Fordham enjoys a rich heritage and has been discovered to be occupied for several thousand years after Early Bronze Age and Iron Age weapons and tools were found. The parish church of St Peter & St Mary Magdalene is a Grade I listed building dating back to the 12th Century and is noted for its fine and unusual 14th Century north chapel, with an upper floor and undercroft. The church continues to have regular services and activities for all ages.

The Chequers and The White Pheasant are two excellent pubs/restaurants in Fordham that offer food and drinks in comfortable and friendly settings.

The village’s proximity to Newmarket means residents have access to the town’s many other amenities, such as the train station offering regular services to both Cambridge, London Kings Cross and Ipswich. The A11 and A14 are also very easily accessible and provide access to Cambridge and Bury St Edmunds in less than 30 minutes.
