Brampton is an electoral ward in the district of Huntingdonshire, Cambridgeshire, England, lying immediately north of the market town of Huntingdon. The ward combines a compact historic village core with surrounding agricultural land, sits close to the River Great Ouse and benefits from good road links via the A14/A1 interchange at Brampton Hut.
Historically the settlement has strong rural roots and in the 20th century hosted RAF Brampton, leaving a modest military legacy alongside modern commuter housing; many residents travel to Huntingdon, Cambridge or Peterborough for work. Local life is shaped by community groups, village amenities and small businesses, with agriculture still visible in the landscape.
