The parish of Wittering sits within the unitary authority of Peterborough in eastern England and comprises the neighbouring villages of Great Wittering and Little Wittering. It is a distinctly rural community set amid arable farmland and hedgerow countryside, yet within easy reach of larger towns, which makes it a mix of long‑standing farming families and commuters.
Locally the identity has been shaped by aviation: nearby RAF Wittering has been a prominent employer and landmark for decades, while the parish itself retains historic touches such as a medieval parish church and traditional village halls and clubs. The social life tends to centre on community events, agricultural rhythms and the small‑scale local economy, giving the parish a quiet, village character with strong connections to the surrounding landscape.
