Perry is a small, predominantly rural parish in Huntingdonshire, within the county of Cambridgeshire in England. The landscape is typical of the former fen-edge and mixed-arable country in this part of the county, with hedgerows, working farms and a scattering of farmsteads rather than a concentrated village centre, and it sits within easy reach of larger market towns such as Huntingdon and St Ives.
There is little in the way of industry inside the parish itself, so the local economy is largely agricultural with many residents commuting to nearby towns for work; historically the area reflects long-established rural land use and older farm buildings and field patterns. Social life tends to revolve around neighbouring villages and community hubs, giving Perry a quiet, close-knit character valued by those who live there.
