Ramsey ward encompasses the market town of Ramsey along with several surrounding villages and rural settlements. The area lies within the Fenland landscape, characterised by flat agricultural fields and drainage channels that define much of its topography.

Economic activity is centred on local commerce and farming, with the town providing essential services for the wider ward. The community is served by primary schools and maintains a distinct identity separate from the larger urban areas in the region.
