Summer activities at Mill View community in Cambridgeshire

In the summer months, we all want to be making the most of the sunshine – and living is made easy at Mill View, giving residents ample opportunities to socialise, relax, enjoy al fresco dining, explore nature and get out and about in the local area.

Here, we explore just a few reasons why this summer is an ideal time to make the move to Mill View. 

Communal and outdoor spaces

Mill View is set in a wonderful location with views across the Cambridgeshire countryside, and there are several outdoor spaces on the purpose-built development where residents can enjoy the sun.

The private, landscaped gardens have been carefully designed to be pleasing to the eye whether at close quarters or from the comfort of your apartment’s private balcony or terrace.

The rooftop restaurant and terrace also offers the perfect place to enjoy a delicious al fresco meal, either alone or with friends and family. It boasts panoramic views across open countryside – a wonderful backdrop to admire whilst tucking into a freshly prepared three-course lunch – or why not ask for a selection of sandwiches to enjoy in the privacy of your apartment in the evening?

The restaurant itself is air-conditioned, as are the resident’s lounges, to help you stay comfortable on those warm summer nights.

Other onsite facilities at Mill View include a shop, hair salon, communal laundry facilities and lounges, mobility scooter storage and a guest room available to book for visitors.

Engaging activities

There is a range of activities and daily opportunities to socialise at Mill View, from a quiet evening playing a board game to trips into the surrounding towns and villages.

Green thumbs can spend time tending to summer blooms with the gardening club, or you can enjoy a natter at the regular coffee mornings. There are also trips to the cinema and exercise sessions.

Summer is the time for fun days out, and the pretty village of Hauxton is a lovely spot for walks and cycle rides – as well as being home to a church, schools, mobile library, sports ground and village hall.

There are plenty of village activities to join in with too, and even more to discover in nearby villages such as Great Shelford and Harston.

Cambridge’s bustling city centre is also within easy reach, featuring historic streets, museums, restaurants, cafes, shops and more.
