Landwade is a very small rural parish in the district of East Cambridgeshire, in the county of Cambridgeshire, England. It sits close to the county boundary with Suffolk and is not far from the racing town of Newmarket, set in low-lying countryside beside the River Lark. The settlement itself is tiny - more a scattering of houses, a country estate and a historic church than a village centre - surrounded by arable fields and pasture.
Despite its size, Landwade has some local interest: a notable country house, estate land and a medieval church give it a quietly historic character, while its proximity to Newmarket means the landscape and local economy are influenced by horse training and associated rural trades. It also reflects the oddities of English parish and county history, with past boundary changes leaving traces in maps and local records.
