Holme is a small village and civil parish in the district of Huntingdonshire, Cambridgeshire, England, sitting on the low-lying fenland that characterises this part of the county. It lies within easy reach of Peterborough and other market towns, and retains a quiet, rural character with a compact community and traditional village features.
The area around Holme is notable for Holme Fen, the national nature reserve that includes the lowest land in Great Britain and the famous monitoring post used to record peat shrinkage; conservation work associated with the Great Fen project has been important locally. Economically the parish is dominated by fenland agriculture and nature-based tourism - walkers and birdwatchers are drawn to the flat, open landscape and the story of historic drainage and peat extraction that shaped the neighbourhood.
