Wyboston
Wyboston is in the civil parish of Wyboston, Chawston and Colesden.
The remainder of Wyboston is horticultural and agricultural as a result of the proximity of the River Great Ouse.
Wyboston Lakes Resort at the edge of the village includes a golf course, hotel, spa, serviced offices and conference & training facilities. Wyboston is also the location of a conference centre owned and operated by Cambridge University's Robinson College. There is a service station which includes a BP garage with a Londis shop attached, Subway and a 24-hour McDonald's.
Wyboston is the location of the Black Cat roundabout, where the Bedford Road joins the A1 road. In the 1930s the location was the site of a cafe and fuel station, and was a notable stopping point for motorists. The name stuck for the road junction, and when the road system was improved in 2010 a black cat artwork was erected on the roundabout.
