Earith is a small village and civil parish in Huntingdonshire, Cambridgeshire, England, lying on the fenland where the Great Ouse meets the Little Ouse. The village is dominated by waterways and flood-control features – notably Earith Sluice – and its low-lying landscape gives it a strong riverside character, with good access for boating and walking across the surrounding washes.
Locally the economy and way of life have long been shaped by fenland agriculture, seasonal birdlife and small-scale tourism, while a compact community with a parish church, village hall and a handful of shops and pubs keeps village life active. The area also bears the imprint of historic drainage and transport changes over the centuries, and visitors are often drawn by the wildlife of the nearby Ouse Washes and the distinctive rural scenery.
