Warboys is a village and civil parish in the historic district of Huntingdonshire, now administered within Cambridgeshire in eastern England. Located on the edge of the fenland, it is surrounded by flat arable countryside and drainage channels, and retains a compact village core with traditional cottages and a medieval parish church that hint at its long rural history.
The village supports a modest local economy centred on farming alongside commuters who travel to nearby towns, and has an active community life with a village hall, primary school and pubs. Historically it is remembered for 17th‑century witchcraft accusations and for the nearby Second World War airfield, RAF Warboys, so the place combines memorable local history with everyday rural Cambridgeshire life.
