St. Ives is a compact market town in Huntingdonshire, Cambridgeshire, England, sitting on a bend of the River Great Ouse. Its riverside setting gives the town a pleasant mix of waterside walks, boating and fishing alongside a historic core of old streets and buildings, and it remains recognisable as a traditional market centre even as homes and cafes spill towards the river.
With medieval origins and a long history as a trading place, St. Ives now combines a local economy of independent shops, small businesses and tourism with many people who commute to nearby Cambridge. Community life is lively, marked by local museums, seasonal events and active river clubs, and the town benefits from good transport links into the wider Fenland and Cambridge area.
