Fenstanton is a village and civil parish in Huntingdonshire, Cambridgeshire, England, sitting on the fenland fringe between the market towns of St Ives and Huntingdon. It occupies gently raised ground close to the River Great Ouse and the surrounding washes, giving a characteristic low-lying riverside landscape shaped by drainage and flood management over centuries.
The village has a compact historic core with older cottages, a parish church and evidence of long-standing settlement; today it mixes agriculture with commuter households having easy access to Cambridge. Local life revolves around village amenities, clubs and pubs, while nearby Fen Drayton Lakes nature reserve and the fenland countryside underline its strong ties to wildlife, walking and traditional rural economy.
