Ramsey St Mary's is a linear fenland village located about nine miles north of Huntingdon and just west of the larger market town of Ramsey. It sits in a landscape defined by its deep peat soils and a network of drainage channels, a legacy of the massive civil engineering projects that reclaimed this land from the marshes centuries ago. The village itself is centered around the 19th-century church of St Mary, built during a period when the local population grew as the fens were brought into intensive agricultural use. While it feels quiet and remote, the village remains practical; it retains a primary school and a local pub, and it is well-connected to the Great Raveley Drain, which is a popular spot for coarse fishing. To the south lies Woodwalton Fen, one of the UK’s oldest nature reserves, providing a glimpse of what this landscape looked like before the drainage pumps were installed. It is very much a working countryside community, where the flat, expansive horizons offer a distinct sense of space that you don't often find elsewhere in Cambridgeshire.
