Somersham is a ward centred on the village of Somersham in Huntingdonshire, Cambridgeshire, England. It sits on the edge of the fenland close to the River Great Ouse and has a pleasantly rural feel while being a short distance north‑east of Huntingdon, with good road links for commuters to larger centres such as Cambridge and Peterborough.
The area mixes arable farmland and market‑gardening with a village centre that retains historic buildings, a parish church and community facilities; remnants of its transport past - a former railway station and nearby wartime airfield often referred to as RAF Somersham - add local interest. Social life revolves around the primary school, village hall and annual events, and the economy combines small local businesses, agriculture and a number of residents who travel out to work in nearby towns.
