Location - Abington Pigotts
Abington Pigotts is a small village on the edge of south Cambridgeshire and neighbouring the Hertfordshire border. The village is surrounded by open countryside and within the village you will find many beautiful period homes from its long history. This has to be one of the only local villages that hasn't been over developed over the years and thanks to this there is a great sense of community within this close-knit village. At the heart of the village is the village hall, church and the very well regarded village pub and restaurant 'The Pig & Abbott'. There is a host of clubs and societies organised by the villagers and once a year everyone gathers for the village fete. The neighbouring village of Steeple Morden provides primary school education and the secondary school is highly regarded Bassingbourn Village College.
