Ashley is a small village and civil parish in East Cambridgeshire, Cambridgeshire, England, set in the flat, agricultural landscape of the eastern Fens. It feels characteristically rural, with surrounding arable fields and lanes that link it to nearby market and cathedral towns.
Historically the settlement has roots reaching back through the medieval period and the built environment still reflects traditional cottages and farmhouses. The local economy is largely agricultural with many residents also commuting to larger centres such as Ely and Cambridge, and the village maintains a small, community-oriented social life with events and amenities typical of East Anglian villages.
