Kirtling is a small village and civil parish in East Cambridgeshire, Cambridgeshire, England, set in a gently rolling arable landscape close to the Suffolk border and within easy reach of the racing town of Newmarket. The area is rural in character, with farms, woodland and quiet lanes; many residents commute to nearby centres such as Cambridge and Ely while local life remains tied to agriculture and small-scale rural enterprise.
The village is perhaps best known for the partly ruined fortified manor known as Kirtling Tower and a historic parish church, which together give the place a notably historic feel. Community life is small and village-centred, with a handful of listed buildings and traditional cottages that reflect its long social and architectural heritage, and some local ties to the equestrian economy of nearby Newmarket.
