Horningsea is a small village and civil parish in South Cambridgeshire, Cambridgeshire, England, sitting a few miles north‑east of Cambridge beside the winding River Cam. The surrounding landscape is low‑lying fen and flood meadow, with former gravel workings now providing lakes and wetland habitat that attract birdlife and anglers, and a network of footpaths and cycle routes linking the village to the city.
Despite its proximity to Cambridge, Horningsea retains a strong village feel with a long history visible in its medieval church and several listed buildings, agricultural roots and a compact centre of cottages and community facilities. Many residents commute in for work while local events and the village hall help maintain a close social life, combining rural character with easy access to urban services.
