Eye is a small village and civil parish on the edge of the city of Peterborough in Cambridgeshire, England, lying where the built-up area meets the open countryside of the Fens. Its setting close to fenland waterways and green spaces gives it a distinctly rural feel despite being within easy reach of the city, making it popular with commuters while retaining visible links to the landscape that shaped it.
Historically centred on agriculture and fen drainage, Eye still shows that heritage in its layout and older buildings, while today the local economy is a mix of small businesses, services and residential life tied to nearby Peterborough. The village has an active community spirit with a village hall, local clubs and parish initiatives that preserve its character and host regular social and cultural events.
