Leverington is a small rural village and civil parish in the district of Fenland, in Cambridgeshire, England, sitting in the famously flat, low-lying landscape of The Fens just outside the market town of Wisbech. The surrounding countryside is dominated by reclaimed peat and rich arable fields criss-crossed by drainage ditches and drains, giving a strong sense of open sky and an abundance of wetland birdlife in the margins.
Historically the settlement has medieval roots and retains a handful of older buildings that reflect its long farming tradition; drainage and land reclamation have shaped both landscape and local economy. Today it remains a tight-knit rural community where agriculture and horticulture are important, while many residents commute to nearby towns for work and services, so village life combines traditional farming rhythms with modern connections to the surrounding urban centres.
