About

Fenstanton ward encompasses the village of Fenstanton along with the smaller settlement of Hilton, situated along the old course of the River Great Ouse. The area is characterised by its riverside setting and agricultural land, with the A14 road forming a significant part of its northern boundary. Residential development is primarily focused within the village itself, which has historical connections to the coaching route between Cambridge and Huntingdon.

The ward's landscape is defined by the river and its adjacent meadows, with the Hemingford Grey backwater creating a distinct local feature. Community life centres on the village high street and its local amenities, including several public houses. The area maintains a separate identity from the larger nearby town of St Ives, with open farmland providing a clear demarcation between the settlements.
