Ramsey Forty Foot is a small settlement in Huntingdonshire, Cambridgeshire, England, sited alongside the engineered Forty Foot Drain on the low-lying marshes of the Fens. The village’s name and layout reflect the 17th-century reclamation and drainage schemes that reshaped the landscape, leaving a characteristically flat, open countryside of dykes, drains and wide skies.
The locality is predominantly agricultural, with arable and horticultural land dominating the economy, and it functions as a quiet, linear community with close links to the nearby market town of Ramsey and employment centres such as Peterborough. The area attracts interest from birdwatchers and anyone drawn to the historic, engineered fenland environment, and retains a small-scale, neighbourly social life typical of rural Cambridgeshire.
