Tydd St. Giles is a small village and civil parish in the Fenland district of Cambridgeshire, England, sitting close to the Lincolnshire border and not far from the tidal inlet of the Wash. It occupies the classic flat, low-lying fenland landscape of reclaimed marshes, with a network of drainage channels and dykes that give the countryside its distinctive open, agricultural character.
The village retains a quiet rural feel centred on its medieval parish church and community buildings, and the local economy is dominated by arable and horticultural farming - vegetables, bulbs and other crops suited to the rich fen soils. Historic episodes such as the large-scale 17th‑century drainage schemes have shaped both the landscape and local identity, while many residents now combine farm work with commuting to nearby market towns such as Wisbech.
