Shepreth is the middle of our three stations and a 12 minute journey from Cambridge.
The name “Shepreth” means “sheep stream”, and the river here was used as a resting place where sheep could be washed on their route to Cambridge. With two pubs, a wildlife park, gardens and a nature reserve there is plenty to keep you busy.
