Great Wilbraham is a small village and civil parish in South Cambridgeshire, Cambridgeshire, England, set a few miles east of Cambridge on the edge of the fenland fringe. It sits among rolling arable fields and quiet lanes, with a compact centre of green spaces, ponds and a mix of traditional cottages and more modern housing, making it popular both with local farmers and commuters into the city.
The village retains a distinctly historic feel in its older buildings and parish landscape, while community life is centred on a village hall, a local pub and seasonal events that bring neighbours together. Footpaths and lanes make it pleasant for walking and cycling, and the settlement maintains close social and practical ties with nearby villages such as Little Wilbraham.
