About

Somersham together with the Riptons and the two Raveleys forms a cluster of neighbouring parishes in Huntingdonshire, Cambridgeshire. The settlements sit amid mixed farmland and a network of country lanes and public footpaths that link village centres, pasture and small woods. Local facilities centre on a village hall, a primary school and parish churches; community notices and a weekly market-style event keep local services within walking distance for many residents. The area lies within the River Great Ouse catchment, and drainage channels and ponds are part of the local field pattern.

Village form ranges from a main street in Somersham to the more compact hamlet groups at Great and Little Raveley. Land use remains largely agricultural, with arable fields, hedgerows and small copses shaping views. Historic field boundaries and parish lanes are still used for recreation and short circular walks that start and finish in the villages. Local councillors manage planning and conservation matters, and small volunteer groups run allotments, green spaces and seasonal events that sustain village life.
