Wintringham is a thriving community, supported by key facilities, services and amenities, set in dynamic and attractive spaces. Critically, the new community is supported by public transport, safe links to the station and cyclepath/footway connections to get around the place and connect to neighbouring Loves Farm and St Neots.
Wintringham has been designed with spaces and places where people can meet up and play an active role in their new community.
A place to work
Wintringham will cultivate and support a thriving business community. The employment area will include a landscaped business park, small-scale employment around the district and local centre targeted at innovative and creative industries, and lighter clean industrial units to the south of the site, with good access to the regional transport network.
Archaeology
Early evidence suggests that Wintringham has been home to a variety of different people throughout the ages - dating back as far as the Neolithic period (c.4000 – 2200 BC). Our archaeologists will be investigating and documenting the site to help us better understand how our ancestors lived and worked the land.

With the changing seasons, we’re seeing new butterflies, moths, and other wildlife outside. 🦋 This Small Tortoiseshell Butterfly reminds us of the beauty we need to protect. Sadly, urban butterfly populations have dropped by 69% in the last 20 years due to habitat loss.
At Wintringham, we`re working to change this by creating wild spaces for them to live, feed, and breed. 🌼
Want to help? Head over to @savebutterflies to learn how you can make your garden a haven for butterflies and moths.

Members of the Wintringham community have set up a Residents` Association with the support of @UrbanAndCivic. 🏘️
Wintringham Residents` Association, is going from strength to strength. 🎉 Events have included the recent community day and ‘meet your neighbour’ on the pocket park last year, both of which far exceeded expectations! With more residents moving in and the community flourishing, it’s fantastic to see neighbours catching up and new friendships being forged. 🤩
A huge thanks to Wintringham Residents’ Association volunteers for all that you do! 😊
