About

The Over & Willingham ward encompasses two large villages in the northwest of South Cambridgeshire, situated on the southern bank of the River Great Ouse. The area is characterised by open fenland landscape and agricultural land, with a history tied to river trade and drainage. The village of Over features a notable medieval bridge crossing the river, connecting to the town of Earith. Willingham retains a traditional linear layout along its High Street, with many historic buildings constructed from local clunch stone.

A significant network of drainage dykes and lodes, remnants of centuries of fenland management, cross the surrounding farmland. Regular bus services provide connections to Cambridge and St Ives, while the area remains largely rural in nature, with a mix of commuting and agricultural employment.
