Brinkley is a small rural village and civil parish in East Cambridgeshire, Cambridgeshire, in eastern England. Sitting close to the Suffolk border and not far from Newmarket, it occupies gently undulating countryside typical of the area and feels distinct from the fenlands further west; narrow lanes, hedgerows and a scattering of traditional farmhouses give it a quietly agricultural character.
Historically centred on farming, the community still has a strong village identity around its church and parish events, with several historic buildings and lanes that hint at a long local history. Proximity to Newmarket and good road links also mean some residents commute to Cambridge or work in the nearby racing and equine industries, while village life remains driven by small-scale agriculture and local social activities.
