Village sign of Landbeach
Landbeach is a small fen-edge English village about five miles (8 km) north of Cambridge. The parish covers an area of 9.00 km².
Landbeach has two churches (Anglican and Baptist), a village hall and an Indian restaurant (formerly The Slap Up public house). The nearest railway station is Waterbeach, on the Fen Line. The village lies close to the A10 road that also links London to King's Lynn.
The village has three archaeological sites with remains of mediaeval manor houses, which together form a Scheduled Ancient Monument. A former Roman road, the Mere Way, which once joined Ely to London, passes through the village from north to south.
Within the parish boundary, but outside the residential area, is Cambridge Research Park, on the site of the former Landbeach Marina, itself a flooded former gravel pit.
