Over is a village and civil parish in the district of South Cambridgeshire, in the county of Cambridgeshire, England. It sits on the edge of the low-lying The Fens, close to the River Great Ouse and within easy reach of Cambridge and Ely, so it combines a distinctly rural, agricultural setting with a significant number of commuters who travel to the nearby cities.
The village has medieval roots evident in its church and several older buildings, alongside more recent housing and community facilities such as a village hall and pubs. Locally there’s a strong sense of community expressed through village fetes, clubs and conservation activity; historically the area’s character has been shaped by fen drainage and farming, while today the economy mixes agriculture with services and commuter incomes.
