Fen Ditton sits on the north bank of the River Cam, just a few miles east of Cambridge in the district of South Cambridgeshire, Cambridgeshire, England. Its riverside meadows, notably the floodplain known as Fen Ditton Meadows, are valued for wildlife and give the village a pleasantly open, green character despite its proximity to the city.
With medieval roots, a compact high street of older cottages and a historic parish church, Fen Ditton retains a strong village community and local social life alongside a commuter population who work in Cambridge. The river once shaped the local economy through mills and transport; today people enjoy riverside walks, rowing and good cycling links into the city while community events and village amenities keep it distinct from suburban sprawl.
