Bury is a small village and civil parish in the historic district of Huntingdonshire, now administered as part of Cambridgeshire in England. It sits in a rural, agricultural landscape typical of the county and is within reasonable travelling distance of larger centres such as Cambridge and Peterborough, so it attracts both long‑standing farming families and commuters.
Like many settlements in the area, Bury has medieval roots and features a parish church, traditional cottages and a village hall that help keep local life centred. The local economy remains largely agricultural with a handful of small businesses, and the social scene is quietly community‑focused, with occasional village events and fairs that reflect Huntingdonshire's rural traditions while benefitting from nearby market towns.
