The ward covers the adjoining villages of Over and Willingham in South Cambridgeshire, Cambridgeshire, England, sitting on the northern edge of the Fenlands close to the River Great Ouse and a short drive from Cambridge. The low‑lying, open landscape gives long views and a distinctly rural feel despite relatively easy commuting links into the city.
Historically agricultural, the area still has working farmland and traces of older settlement in its churches and village greens, while the local economy is a mix of farming, small businesses and commuters. Community life is lively for a rural ward, centred on village halls, pubs and clubs, and there is a visible interest in conserving local heritage and the surrounding countryside.
