Needingworth

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Needingworth – in Huntingdonshire (now part of Cambridgeshire), England – is a village east of St Ives.

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

There is only one shop, which is also a Post Office on the Needingworth high street. There are also 2 pubs in Needingworth, The Pike and Eel and The Queens Head.

[edit] 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 hectare wetland will constitute 50% of the UK's reedbed target.^[1]
