Holywell-cum-Needingworth is a civil parish in Huntingdonshire, within Cambridgeshire, England, made up mainly of the neighbouring villages of Needingworth and Holywell. It sits close to St Ives and the River Great Ouse amid the low-lying fenland that characterises this part of the county.
The area is largely rural with agriculture still important, alongside light industry and an industrial estate at Needingworth; former gravel workings nearby have become lakes and wildlife sites popular with anglers and birdwatchers. The villages retain a strong community feel centred on the church, village hall and local clubs, and the place-name Holywell hints at a medieval heritage while many residents commute to nearby towns and Cambridge for work.
