About

Huntingdon East is a residential ward forming part of the historic market town of Huntingdon. The area is primarily characterised by housing developments from the mid-20th century onwards, providing homes for a significant portion of the town's population. It contains local shopping parades, schools, and community facilities that serve its residents. The ward's boundaries are largely defined by major roads and the course of the River Great Ouse to the south.

The area includes the Hinchingbrooke district, named after the nearby Hinchingbrooke House, a former priory converted into a Tudor manor. This connection to local history is present in the area's street names and the large Hinchingbrooke Country Park, which offers woodland and meadows along the river. The ward functions as a settled suburban part of the town, with direct access to Huntingdon's town centre and its broader transport links.
