Benwick is a small village and civil parish in the Fenland district of Cambridgeshire in eastern England. It sits in the heart of the Fens, a very low-lying, reclaimed marshland criss‑crossed by drainage channels and ditches, so the landscape is famously flat with wide skies and a strong wetland birdlife presence.
The local economy is dominated by arable and horticultural farming, a legacy of centuries of drainage and peat‑cutting that reshaped the area; traces of that past remain in local buildings and field patterns. Benwick retains a close-knit rural community with village facilities, a church and war memorial, and regular local events that reflect its agricultural and historic character.
