Farcet is a small village and civil parish in Huntingdonshire, Cambridgeshire, England, sitting on the edge of the Fens just to the west of Peterborough and close to the River Nene. Its low-lying landscape and good transport links have made it a popular residential spot for commuters while it still retains a quiet, rural feel.
Historically an agricultural settlement, the village saw some 19th- and 20th-century industrial activity linked to local brick and gravel working, and today mixes older cottages and farm buildings with more modern housing. Community life is centred on local clubs and a village hall, and the surrounding waterways and footpaths make it attractive to walkers and anglers, preserving a strong local identity despite growing links to nearby urban centres.
