St Ives North

St Ives North lies on the northern side of the market town of St Ives in Huntingdonshire, beside the River Great Ouse. The area is primarily residential, with a mix of terraced streets and later housing estates feeding into the town centre. Local routes lead down to the riverside towpath and the market square, where the Norris Museum records local history. St Ivo Academy provides secondary education for many families in the town and sits within easy reach of the north wards.

Community facilities include small shops, pubs and green spaces used for informal sport and play. The riverbank sees regular use by walkers, anglers and narrowboats, and moorings are visible from several points along the towpath. Bus routes connect north St Ives with Huntingdon and other towns in the district, while local volunteer groups run events and conservation work focused on the river and towpath. The pattern of streets and public spaces reflects gradual growth around the historic centre rather than a single large development.
