About

Willingham and Over are neighbouring villages situated along the River Great Ouse in South Cambridgeshire. The area is characterised by flat, open fenland landscapes and extensive agricultural fields. Both settlements have historic cores with buildings constructed from local materials, including traditional timber-framed houses and the notable medieval churches of St Mary and St Peter. The river itself is a central feature, influencing the local geography and community life.

A network of drainage ditches and dykes crisscrosses the surrounding farmland, a legacy of the centuries-old effort to reclaim the fertile land from the marshes. The villages maintain a degree of separation by open countryside, with shared local services and schools. The Willingham Mere, a significant area of wetland and open water to the south, provides an important habitat for wildlife and is a focus for local natural history.
