Balsham Cricket Ground

If you’re after space to just let kids loose without worrying about them crashing into anything, this is a solid option. It’s a proper village cricket ground, so there’s a decent stretch of open grass that works well for a kickabout, a game of tag, or honestly just running in circles until they’re tired enough to sleep. No equipment to speak of, but sometimes that’s exactly what you need. Worth combining with a picnic if the weather’s playing ball — and this being Cambridgeshire, check the forecast first.
