Huntingdonshire

Local authority district in Cambridgeshire, England

Coordinates:	52.37, -0.21
OS grid ref:	TL 21 76

The district of Huntingdonshire sits in western Cambridgeshire in England, occupying a largely rural landscape of arable farmland, fen and the meandering River Great Ouse. It contains a string of market towns and villages - notably Huntingdon, St Ives and St Neots - with good road and rail links that make parts of the district popular with commuters to Cambridge and London.

The area preserves a strong historic identity: Huntingdon has connections with Oliver Cromwell and a small local museum, while St Ives is prized for its picturesque bridge and riverside setting. There are also attractive outdoor draws such as Grafham Water, river corridors and nature reserves that support birdwatching, walking and water sports.

Economically the district combines agriculture and small-scale industry with a growing service and commuter economy; business parks and light industry sit alongside family farms and market towns. A lively programme of local events, heritage projects and volunteer conservation keeps a strong community feel across the district.
