The Wittering ward sits on the north‑western edge of the Peterborough unitary authority in Cambridgeshire, centred on the village of Wittering and the long‑standing RAF base, RAF Wittering. It is largely rural, with a patchwork of arable farmland and small hamlets, and offers commuter links into the city and nearby market towns.
The presence of RAF Wittering gives the area a distinctive military character, bringing service families, local jobs and club life alongside traditional village activity centred on the parish church and village hall. Local identity balances a long agricultural history and some historic buildings with contemporary pressures around housing, infrastructure and protecting the surrounding countryside as the wider Peterborough area grows.
