Farcet Cambridgeshire Map

About Farcet

Farcet rests its quiet presence on the flat Cambridgeshire fenland. It lies 4.2 km south-south-east of Peterborough (from Peterborough: bearing 165°T, OS grid TL 204 946), and is situated north-east of Yaxley village. The land here, once marsh and fen, now yields to the plough under skies that can stretch to an immense, pale blue, carrying the distant scent of damp earth and growing things. Though the grand monastic foundations of nearby Peterborough Abbey are a world away in scale, the ancient parish church of St Mary still anchors Farcet, its stone worn smooth by centuries of wind and rain, a stoic sentinel against the encroaching flatness. The village itself unfolds with a gentle, unhurried air, its dwellings reflecting a pragmatic history of agricultural life, their roofs catching the soft, diffused light that often filters across these eastern fields.
