About

Fordham & Isleham ward encompasses two main villages within the flat, agricultural landscape of East Cambridgeshire.

The ward also contains significant areas of fenland and is crossed by several drainage channels, reflecting the ongoing management of the low-lying terrain. Community life focuses on local schools, village halls, and public houses, with a pattern of life shaped by the rural setting and proximity to larger towns like Ely.
