Welcome to Oldhurst
An Ostrich from Oldhurst
Oldhurst, sometimes referred to as Old Hurst, is a small ring village located in the centre of the hundred of Hurstingstone in the District of Huntingdon. Its present day name derives from Waldhyrst (13th Century) - "Hill with trees" - but of the great forest that once surrounded it little remains. As can be seen from the picture above Oldhurst has some unusual residents at Church Farm. If you visit the Eccentric Englishman Tea Rooms at the farm you can see the Ostriches and other exotic creatures. Oldhurst is one of the parishes of the District of Huntingdonshire, whose administrative centre is Huntingdon, the other principle towns being St Ives home of the Chapel on the Bridge, St Neots the largest town in the County of Cambridgeshire and Ramsey site of the former Abbey.
