Sawtry is a large village and civil parish in the Huntingdonshire district of Cambridgeshire, England, lying close to the A1(M) between Huntingdon and Peterborough. The surrounding landscape is gently rolling farmland on the fen-edge, and the village’s position on main roads has made it both a local service centre and a convenient commuter base for nearby towns.
Locally notable are the earthworks and fragments of the medieval Sawtry Abbey, which hint at the village’s long history, while today Sawtry combines small businesses and light industrial estates with active community life - schools, sports clubs and village events - and a mix of long-standing residents and newer families from recent housing growth.
