Wittering is a small village and civil parish in the unitary authority of Peterborough, England, with a distinctly rural character set among arable farmland and low-lying countryside. The community is best known for its close association with RAF Wittering, a long-established Royal Air Force station whose presence has shaped the local economy and social life by bringing service families, local jobs and aviation heritage to the area.
Although compact, Wittering retains a sense of history in its parish buildings and village layout, and benefits from good road links to nearby market towns and the city of Peterborough. The mix of military influence, farming activity and a small but active village community gives it a distinct identity compared with other rural settlements in the region.
