Bluntisham stands north-east of St. Ives, close to the River Great Ouse.  It is bordered on the one side by the fens and on the other, what was mainly orchards, but has now been turned under the plough.  It is an attractive, growing village with a medieval church built of local brown cobbles and a 'Gothicised' Baptist Chapel.  It has thriving football and cricket teams.  It has access to the Ouse Valley Way and is on the “Pathfinder” route.  Two pubs each of different character, offer refreshment, both indoors and outdoors.  A short distance away lies Bury Fen, when, weather allowing, ice skating is the local sport and where ice hockey is reputed to have originated under the name of “Bandy”.
