Bluntisham and Colne are small neighbouring villages in Huntingdonshire, Cambridgeshire, England, set in the low-lying fen country close to the River Great Ouse. The landscape of drained marshes, ditches and broad arable fields has shaped a mainly agricultural economy - historically strong in market gardening - and gives the area its distinctive open, watery character.
The communities retain a strong village feel, with parish churches, a village hall, local pubs and clubs, and a scattering of historic buildings that reflect medieval and later rural life. Good road and rail links to nearby St Ives and Cambridge mean the villages mix long-standing farming traditions with commuters seeking a quieter fenland setting.
