The 80 house village of Holywell (also Holywell-cum-Needingworth) owes its name to the holy well fed by a spring in front of St John the Baptist church.
What makes it a particularly pleasant place to be is the river setting and lack of a through road. The Old Ferry Boat is also a good place to stop over while walking the Ouse Valley Way.

Nearest bus stop is at Needingworth where you can catch a 301 to Earith or St Ives.
