Wistow is a small rural village and civil parish in Huntingdonshire, Cambridgeshire, England, set among rolling arable fields and hedgerows typical of the county. It has a quietly attractive mix of period cottages and farm buildings and feels distinctly village-like rather than suburban, with lanes, ponds and woodland glimpses giving it a countryside character.
Historically centred on agriculture, the village retains a close-knit community with local groups and occasional village events, while many residents commute to nearby market towns and regional centres such as Huntingdon, St Ives, Cambridge or Peterborough for work and services. There are a handful of historic buildings and rural businesses, so visitors or new residents get a sense of traditional East Anglian village life rather than a busy commercial centre.
