Ramsey St. Mary's is a small fenland village in the historic district of Huntingdonshire, now administered as part of Cambridgeshire in England, lying just outside the market town of Ramsey. The settlement sits within the low-lying Fens, an agricultural landscape shaped by centuries of drainage and peat working, and retains a parish church dedicated to St Mary and a village primary school that anchor local life.
Historically the area is tied to the medieval Ramsey Abbey and the wider fenland story; today it combines farming and small local businesses with many residents commuting to nearby centres such as Peterborough, Huntingdon and Cambridge. Nature and leisure interest is high thanks to the nearby Ouse Washes and other wetland habitats, making it popular with birdwatchers and those after a quieter rural lifestyle close to regional towns.
