About

Sawtry ward encompasses the village of Sawtry and its immediate surrounding rural area in the western part of Huntingdonshire. The settlement is situated along the old Great North Road, now the A1, which historically shaped its development. The area is characterised by a mix of residential housing, local commerce, and agricultural land, with several small business parks located on its fringes. The community includes primary and secondary schooling facilities within the village.

The landscape is largely flat, typical of the region, with farmland defining the ward's boundaries. A notable local feature is the proximity to Monks Wood, a national nature reserve, which lies just to the north. The ward contains areas of older village centre properties alongside more modern housing developments. Community life includes various local clubs and organisations, with the parish church serving as a focal point in the village.
