Conington is a small, quietly rural civil parish in the district of South Cambridgeshire, Cambridgeshire, England. It occupies a handful of lanes, farms and cottages set in typical lowland arable countryside rather than a built-up village, so the landscape and field patterns are a defining feature.
Historically agricultural with roots back to the medieval period, the parish retains a few older buildings and a sense of a close-knit community; economically it is still shaped by farming though many residents now commute to larger centres such as Cambridge and other nearby towns. Local life tends to revolve around neighbouring villages for amenities, while conservation and the rural character remain important to residents.
