Description St Ives is a delightful historic market town which is situated on the banks of the river Great Ouse. Thought to be of Saxon origins with later Medieval influences and a focal point of the town is the 15th century bridge and chapel over the river. St Ives is the birthplace of Oliver Cromwell, whose statue presides over the bi-weekly market. There are a delightful array of attractive period buildings in the centre of the town, a good variety of independent shops, a Waitrose supermarket, various restaurants and cafes together with a number of recreational and educational facilities. For the Cambridge commuter there is access to the A14 and the Guided Busway from the town provides scheduled bus services into the Science Park in Cambridge via dedicated concrete rails and onwards to Cambridge station then on dedicated rails again to Addenbrookes hospital and the new Biomedical campus. The A14 leads south to Cambridge, the M11 and on to the M25 and London. Northwards it leads to Huntingdon (which has a mainline railway station with services into London Kings Cross taking from 50 minutes) the A1, M1 & M6. Cambridge offers comprehensive shopping, schooling, recreational and cultural facilities as well as renowned independent schools for all age groups. Other independent schools in the area include Kimbolton, Oundle and Uppingham. There are local schools in St Ives for all ages groups. 7 The Quay is a charming Grade II listed period cottage in the centre of St Ives, right on the quay side enjoying superb views over the river Great Ouse and the ancient town bridge (no longer open to traffic).
