South Cambridgeshire

South Cambridgeshire

South Cambridgeshire is a mostly rural local government district of Cambridgeshire, England. It was formed on 1 April 1974 by the merger of Chesterton Rural District and South Cambridgeshire Rural District. It surrounds the city of Cambridge, which is administered separately from the district. After the abolition of South Herefordshire and Hereford districts to form the unitary Herefordshire in 1998, it is the only English district to completely encircle another.

The district's coat of arms contains a reference to the coat of arms of Cambridge University. The motto, "Niet Zonder Arbyt", means "Nothing without work" in Dutch; it was originally the motto of Cornelius Vermuyden who drained The Fens in the 17th century. The district council's headquarters moved from Cambridge to Cambourne in 2004.

South Cambridgeshire has scored highly on the best places to live, according to Channel 4, which ranked South Cambs as the 5th best place to live in 2006
