Needingworth – in Huntingdonshire (now part of Cambridgeshire), England – is a village east of St Ives and just west of the Prime Meridian.

The village is attached to Holywell by a single road, connecting the two villages.

There is only one shop, currently a 'One Stop', which is also a Post Office on the Needingworth high street. There are also two pubs in Needingworth, The Pike and Eel and The Queen's Head.

There is a Church-of-England primary school, a village hall with bowls club and various good walks in the area. Also tennis courts.

The Villager is the local newsletter of the area, a copy of which is delivered free to every household in the parish of Holywell-cum-Needingworth.

The quarry

There is a significant aggregate extraction operation based just to the east of Needingworth. The quarry will be turned into wetland with the co-operation of the RSPB. The resulting 600 hectares (1,483 acres) wetland will constitute 50% of the UK's reedbed target.[1]

Bus services

There are two bus routes serving the village;

  • 21 (Stagecoach in Huntingdonshire) to St Ives or Somersham/Chatteris
  • 21 (Go Whippet) to St Ives or Somersham/Ramsey
