Over is a village and civil parish in South Cambridgeshire, set on the edge of the Fenland beside the River Great Ouse, a short distance north of Cambridge and within easy reach of Ely. Its low-lying, riverside landscape of dykes, drains and pasture gives the area a distinctive rural character, with a compact village core of period cottages clustered around a green.
With medieval roots and a historic parish church, Over shows its past in listed buildings and farmsteads; agriculture and market gardening have long underpinned the local economy, while many residents now commute to nearby cities. The village retains a strong community spirit, with a primary school, local clubs and regular events that keep the social life lively despite its tranquil countryside setting in Cambridgeshire.
