Covering almost 91,000 hectares, the District of Huntingdonshire forms the most westerly part of Cambridgeshire. Following local government reorganization in the 1960s and 1970s, Huntingdonshire disappeared as a county on 1st April 1974. The former County of Huntingdonshire is still reflected in the name of the District Council today.
Within Huntingdonshire there are many attractive villages, each with its own identity. The Anglo-Saxon and Roman history is prevalent throughout the District in its historic buildings, churches and fine houses. The varied landscape of the District is comprised of the fens tot the north, which are in certain parts below sea level, and gentle rolling landscapes to the south. There are opportunities to discover the relaxing waterways of the River Great Ouse, which passes through the charming market towns of St Neots, Huntingdon and St Ives and the River Nene to the North.
The District is particularly well served by an excellent road system. It is crossed by the A1(M) and A1 running from London to Edinburgh and the A14 from the East Coast ports of Felixtowe and Harwich to the Midlands and M1/M6 junction.
Within easy reach are Peterborough and Cambridge, also flights from the airports of Stanstead and Luton less than an hour away by train.
Huntingdonshire is continually developing to provide modern facilities and employment opportunities, whilst ensuring that the attractive countryside, historic buildings and beautiful villages remain unspoilt.
