Huntingdon, was until 1974, the principal town of the old county of Huntingdonshire and includes the villages of Fenstanton, the Hemingfords, the Stukeleys, the Alconburys and the towns of St Ives, St Neots, Ramsey and Godmanchester. Today it is a thriving East Anglian market town situated 18 miles north west of Cambridge at the junction of the A14 and the A1 main trunk roads. Huntingdon is also served by the main line route from London Kings Cross to Scotland and is situated on the River Great Ouse.
Huntingdon is twinned with Salon de Provence, France, Werteim am Main, Germany and Szentendre, Hungary.
Probably the most famous son of Huntingdon, Oliver Cromwell was born in 1599 and lived his early years at Hinchingbrooke House now incorporated within Hinchingbrooke Secondary School and went to the Grammar School which is now a museum commemorating the man himself. Another famous character was the colourful politician, the 4th Earl of Sandwich who was the inventor of everybody's favourite snack - 'the sandwich'.
There are many popular areas of attraction from tranquil walks by the river Great Ouse and Grafham Water to Country Parks, Golf Courses and Fitness Studios. An enjoyable day out can be had at Huntingdon Racecourse in the parish of Brampton providing the ultimate racing experience.
