Horningsea is a small village and civil parish in South Cambridgeshire, Cambridgeshire, England, lying a few miles north‑east of Cambridge on the banks of the River Cam. It has long rural and medieval roots centred on its parish church and a compact village core, with surrounding arable farmland and low‑lying fenland that give the area a strong sense of place and attractive riverside walks.
Nowadays Horningsea combines traditional farming with a commuter community for nearby Cambridge, and retains a number of historic buildings and an active village life. The river and nearby footpaths are popular for wildlife watching and informal boating, and the village’s rural character and local events help keep a close‑knit social scene despite its proximity to the city.
