Wimblington is a village and civil parish in the Fenland district of Cambridgeshire, England, set in the characteristic flat, low-lying landscape of the Fens with its network of drains, dykes and pumping stations. The surrounding reclaimed peat and clay soils make the area strongly agricultural, with large arable fields and a landscape that suits cycling and birdwatching as much as farming.
Locally the village has a strong community feel, centred on its parish church with medieval origins, a primary school and village clubs and pubs; residents often look to nearby market towns such as March and Chatteris for wider services and rail links. Historically the settlement grew with the drainage and enclosure of the Fens and today combines traditional rural life with commuters travelling to larger centres like Peterborough and Cambridge.
