Doddington is a small rural village and civil parish in the district of Fenland, in Cambridgeshire, England. It sits on the low-lying fen plain characterised by wide arable fields, ditches and drains, the product of centuries of land reclamation and drainage; the village lies a short drive from the market town of March and within easy reach of the cathedral city of Ely.
Local life is shaped by agriculture and the rhythms of the fen landscape, with farming, farm-related businesses and a close-knit village community at its heart. Historic touches - listed cottages and an old parish church - reflect the settlement’s long rural past, while nearby wetland habitats and drainage channels support notable waterbird life and a distinctly fenland character that visitors and residents alike often remark on. Community events and village amenities give Doddington a quietly active social scene despite its small size.
