About

Stretham ward encompasses a rural portion of East Cambridgeshire, situated near the River Great Ouse. The area is characterised by expansive, flat fenland landscapes primarily dedicated to arable farming. The settlement of Stretham itself is a linear village with a mix of housing along its main street. Agricultural buildings and drainage channels are common features across the parish, reflecting its history of land reclamation.

The ward includes the hamlet of Little Thetford to the south. A notable local landmark is the Stretham Old Engine, a preserved steam-powered beam engine once used for land drainage, which now operates as a museum. The surrounding fields are crisscrossed by droves and public footpaths, including routes along the riverbank. The overall environment is quiet and agricultural, with a strong sense of its engineered landscape.
