Cambridge Science Park

Cambridge Science Park

The Cambridge Science Park, founded by Trinity College, Cambridge in 1970, is the oldest science park in the United Kingdom. It is a concentration of science and technology related businesses, and has strong links with the nearby University of Cambridge.

The science park is situated about 3 km to the north of Cambridge city centre, by junction 33 of the A14. The approximate location is UK national gbmapping|TL465617. While the park is technically part of the village of Milton it is considered by residents to be part of the city.

The site which is now the Cambridge Science Park was originally given to Trinity College when the latter was founded by Henry VIII. Before the Second World War this piece of land was used for farming but was then requisitioned by the US Army for preparing vehicles and tanks for D-Day. After the war the land was left derelict until the plans for development in 1970.
