Boxworth is a small village and civil parish in South Cambridgeshire, in the county of Cambridgeshire, England. It sits a few miles north‑west of Cambridge amid gently rolling arable countryside, and its setting and field patterns still reflect a long agricultural history.
The settlement has medieval roots and retains a handful of older cottages and farmhouses alongside more recent homes, giving it a quiet, rural character. Many residents work locally in farming or travel into Cambridge and the wider region, while village life is typical of small Cambridgeshire parishes with community activities, conservation interests and the occasional local event.
