Cheveley is a small rural village and civil parish in the district of East Cambridgeshire, in the county of Cambridgeshire, lying close to the older horse-racing town of Newmarket and within easy reach of Cambridge. The landscape is typically fen-edge and arable, with a village green, lanes edged by hedges and a mix of historic cottages and more modern homes that give it a quietly attractive, semi-rural feel.

Historically the settlement has medieval roots centred on its parish church, and today the local economy still reflects farming alongside strong links to the equine industry and commuting to nearby towns. Community life is focused on the village hall, church activities and occasional local events, so it combines traditional rural character with practical access to regional employment and services.
