The Huntingdonshire Area:
Huntingdonshire, near to the historic city of Cambridge, is centred around the beautiful River Great Ouse and its fascinating market towns of Huntingdon and Godmanchester, Ramsey, St Ives and St Neots, which have long and interesting histories for you to discover. There are over eighty villages tucked away down country lanes. In the Nene Valley, there are charming stone villages, along the Ouse Valley, tranquil waterside villages and in the west of the District, those with magnificent church spires. Retrace the steps of famous people.
Oliver Cromwell, Lord Protector of England, was born and educated in Huntingdon. His former grammar school is now a museum recording his life. The Falcon Inn in Huntingdon was his father's headquarters. He was a tenant farmer in St Ives where his statue still stands.
