St Ives was voted the best place to live in Cambridgeshire for this year. 

The popular market town was praised for its independent shops, busy market and ease of access to Cambridge city centre. 

The Muddy Stilettos website said: "It might not have the beaches of its more Cornish counterpart but you can still enjoy waterside living in this lovely little town in Cambridgeshire.

"The River Great Ouse runs through the historic town and is a big part of life here, and there are plenty of independent shops and a busy market. It’s an excellent place to commute into Cambridge, especially now the new stretch of A14 has opened."

Elton followed as the second best place to live in Cambridgeshire with Ely and Godmanchester coming a close third and fourth place. 

Linton held its place in the ranking, coming in at number six, while The Shelfords, Bourn, Whittlesford and Buckden all made top 10.
