West Wickham is a small village and civil parish in South Cambridgeshire, in the county of Cambridgeshire, England. It sits in a rural setting of arable fields and hedged lanes not far from the border with Suffolk, and it lies within easy commuting distance of Cambridge, making it popular with those seeking a quieter country base close to the city.
With medieval roots, the village retains the feel of a traditional Cambridgeshire settlement: a parish church, a village hall and a compact social scene centred on community events and local farming. The local economy is largely agricultural with many residents travelling to nearby market towns or to Cambridge for work and services, and its quiet lanes and countryside are valued by walkers and those after a slower pace of life.
