In Cambridge Milton is perhaps best known for its Tescos (see below). However Milton is more than just a series of housing estates with a supermarket tacked on: the old parts of the village have a great deal of charm and it retains its village character despite being so close to Cambridge.
Milton Parish Council is responsible for an area bounded by the River Cam to the east and the byway called the Mere Way to the west. The northern boundary runs just south of Landbeach and then across the fields between Milton and Waterbeach. The southern boundary from the Mere Way follows the course of the old St Ives railway line encompassing the Cambridge Science Park and the Regional College but not the "Milton" sewage works (which are inside the city boundary). Instead the boundary turns north, following the line of the old A10 before turning east again just north of the A14 towards the river Cam. Included in Milton Parish is a detached area south of the A14 taking in the old railway sidings, and the caravan parks and businesses on Chesterton Fen Road from a point about 200m North of the level crossing. |
