Huntingdonshire

Few places in England have a history as closely tied to former county status as Huntingdonshire. Now a district of Cambridgeshire, it extends across lowland country shaped by the River Great Ouse, which passes through Huntingdon and St Ives. Huntingdon, the district’s principal town, is associated with Oliver Cromwell, who was born there in 1599; the Cromwell Museum occupies the former grammar school he attended. Market towns, riverside paths and farming settlements give the area a distinctly eastern-English character, while its position between Cambridge and Peterborough places it within a wider regional network.
