For most travellers, the best time to visit Coton is during the summer months, from June to August, when the weather is at its warmest and driest.
During this period, the average daily temperatures range from 18°C to 22°C, making it ideal for exploring the village and surrounding countryside. The longer daylight hours mean you'll have more time to enjoy outdoor activities like walking or cycling along the Cambridgeshire Guided Busway path, which runs through Coton.
Couples looking for a romantic getaway will appreciate the pleasant weather for strolls through Coton Orchard or a visit to the nearby Cambridge University Botanic Garden. Many local pubs and restaurants also offer outdoor seating, superb for enjoying a meal in the evening sun.
Solo travellers interested in history and academia will find the summer months convenient for visiting the University of Cambridge colleges, which are just a short bus ride or cycle away. The summer also sees various festivals and events in Cambridge, offering additional entertainment options.
Alternatively, if you prefer fewer crowds and don't mind cooler temperatures, late spring (April-May) or early autumn (September-October) can also be a good choice.
