Location
Carlton-cum-Willingham Green lies within the eastern boundary of Cambridgeshire, although its postal address is Newmarket, Suffolk.
It lies in the triangle between Cambridge, Newmarket, and Haverhill, with the nearest neighbouring village being Brinkley.
Carlton itself consists of three main parts, Carlton Green, Carlton, and Carlton Hill. The parish includes these parts plus Willingham Green.

Aerial Photos
In 2005 I took some aerial photos using a bright orange meteorological balloon, a digital camera, and an extremely long piece of string.
Sadly because of the wind most of the 1500+ photographs are either pictures of fields or have too much motion blur - here are some of the exceptions. I would do more but getting enough helium is expensive! This was before drones...
Also see the page for the 1949 Aerial Photographs taken by the RAF.
