Parson Drove is a small rural parish in the low-lying fenlands of Fenland, Cambridgeshire, in England. Set amid reclaimed arable marshes, the village has a linear feel with hedgerows, drains and wide skies characteristic of the Fens; agriculture - particularly vegetable growing and mixed farming - remains the dominant local economy.
Historically the settlement grew up with the drainage of the fens and retains a mix of older cottages and farming buildings alongside more modern homes; socially it has the close-knit feel of a small village with a village hall and local amenities serving people who often travel to nearby market towns such as Wisbech and March. Its landscape and history link it to the wider coastal plain around The Wash, giving a strong sense of place and continuity with Fenland life.
