Conington is a civil parish located in the county of Cambridgeshire, in the eastern part of England. It is situated approximately 10 miles southwest of the city of Cambridge and covers an area of about 7 square miles.

The village of Conington is small and picturesque, with a population of around 200 people. It has a rural charm, characterized by its rolling countryside, meadows, and hedgerows. The parish is predominantly agricultural, with farming being the primary economic activity in the area.

Conington is known for its historic St. Mary's Church, which dates back to the 12th century. The church is a Grade II* listed building and features a beautiful Norman tower and an intricately carved font. It serves as a place of worship for the local community and is also a popular tourist attraction.

The village has limited amenities, with a small primary school and a village hall being the main public facilities. However, it benefits from its close proximity to larger towns and cities, such as Cambridge and Huntingdon, which offer a wider range of services and amenities.

Conington is well-connected to the rest of the county by road, with the A14 and A1(M) highways located nearby. The village is also within easy reach of Stansted Airport, making it an attractive location for commuters and travelers.
