Coveney is a small village and civil parish in East Cambridgeshire, Cambridgeshire, England, sitting on a slight raised island in the Fenland a short drive from Ely. The settlement is very rural, with a sparse, close‑knit community surrounded by flat, drained arable fields and the wide, open skies that characterise the district.
Historically shaped by medieval settlement and the large‑scale drainage projects that remade the fens, the parish retains a quietly historic feel and an economy still largely based on agriculture, while its wetlands and hedgerows attract birdwatchers and nature lovers; many residents travel to nearby Ely or Cambridge for work and services.
