Boxworth is a small rural village and civil parish in South Cambridgeshire, Cambridgeshire, England, lying roughly eight miles west of Cambridge. It sits amid gently rolling arable countryside and quiet lanes, a landscape of fields, copses and public footpaths that typifies this part of the Fens fringe. The village retains a compact historic core and is close enough to the main road network to be convenient for commuters while still feeling distinctly rural.
Historically agricultural, Boxworth has a modest parish church and a number of older cottages and farm buildings, some of which are listed, reflecting medieval and later rural development. Today the community mixes long-established farming families with people who work in nearby towns; social life tends to centre on local events, village gatherings and country pursuits, making it a quiet but well-connected example of a Cambridgeshire village.
