Start in Eddington Square – pick up a coffee from one of our independent retailers and set off on our accessible and scenic paths around the neighbourhood.

Green corridors, quirky underground bins, buff-brick buildings and pedestrian-friendly courtyards open out to open space and purposefully created landscape parklands. In this tour, you can learn about the architectural features and design principles that have made Eddington an award-winning new neighbourhood, frequently toured by architects, town-planners and other universities eager to see what modern urban design can achieve.
