Yaxley is an electoral ward and village in Huntingdonshire, Cambridgeshire, England, sitting immediately south of Peterborough on the edge of The Fens. The area combines an older village core with later housing developments and light industrial estates, giving it a suburban feel while still retaining pockets of open countryside nearby.
Historically agricultural, Yaxley expanded through the 20th century and now functions partly as a commuter community for Peterborough; locally there are schools, shops, social clubs and active sports teams that contribute to a strong neighbourhood life. Its location close to city amenities, transport links and fenland landscapes makes it a practical base with a distinctly local village identity.
