Dry Drayton is a village about 5 miles (8 km) northwest of Cambridge in Cambridgeshire, England. It covers an area of 829 hectares (2,049 acres).
The village has a pub, an Anglican church dedicated to Saints Peter and Paul, a Methodist church, a primary school and a cricket ground.
The village high street once was the main focus of the village but with expansion the focus has moved towards the area closer to the field called 'The Park'- however this field has no link to a play park or recreational area. Many of the houses are cottages dating form Elizabethan to late Victorian times. Most of the village services and shops have closed due to the opening of the Tesco in Bar Hill. The village's only red phone box was removed in early 2010 after being vandalized. It is connected to Bar Hill by a cycle path and pedestrian path known as 'the Drift'. Dry Drayton is home to an active Parish Council, whom, unfortunately have yet to provide the village with anything substantial but continue to waste our tax on the clerk. Recently the pub has also been through dire straits, having only just escaped the bankruptcy of its previous owner, unfortunately it is well on track to going the same way again.
