Old Hurst is a small village and civil parish in the historic county of Huntingdonshire, now administered within Cambridgeshire, England. It sits on the edge of the Fens close to the River Great Ouse and the market town of St Ives, giving it a low‑lying, agricultural landscape of drains, dykes and open fields.
The local economy is largely agricultural, with arable farms and strong links to nearby market centres, while a modest village hall and church act as focal points for a small, long‑standing community. The parish’s character reflects the wider fenland history of drainage and rural life, and it appeals to those seeking quiet countryside, seasonal birdlife and the rhythms of traditional village living.
