The Porterhouse is located in the heart of Willingham village, with easy access to Cambridge, only 8.1 miles away and situated 1.3 miles away from the guided bus way. The guided bus provides easy travel into the city itself Some new vehicle GPS settings have the incorrect coordinates and will send you to a village called Over which is approx 2 miles away from us. If you end up on "Over Rd" then type 1 Station Rd, Willingham into your system instead of using the postcode.
