Two bus stops very near by . Turn right down the high street to a bus stop almost opposite the Dog and Duck pub. Turn left up the high street to the top, use the traffic light crossing and turn right and you will see the bus stop just ahead (known locally as the Old Police Houses stop - long gone by the way) for a 20 to 30 min ride to the centre of Cambridge via the Railway station

You will see them parked around the pavements of Cambridge. I think you need to download the app and pay to use them.
