Parson Drove is a small village in the low-lying reclaimed landscape of the Fenland district of Cambridgeshire, England, located a short distance from the market towns of Wisbech and March. Set along a linear road pattern common to the Fens, it offers the wide horizons, drains and dykes that define this distinctive agricultural region.
The village’s name hints at historic functions as a drove route and land once associated with a parson, and its development has been shaped by centuries of drainage and reclamation. Today the local economy is dominated by intensive arable and horticultural farming on fertile peat and silt soils, while a village hall, church and local groups sustain a small but active community life rooted in rural Fenland traditions.
