The CB postcode area, also known as the Cambridge postcode area,[2] is a group of sixteen postcode districts in England, which are subdivisions of five post towns. These postcode districts cover much of south and east Cambridgeshire (including Cambridge and Ely), plus parts of west Suffolk (including Newmarket and Haverhill) and north-west Essex (including Saffron Walden).
The districts CB21 to CB25 were created in September 2006 from parts of the districts CB1 to CB5.[3][4][5]
