Upwood, in Huntingdonshire (now part of Cambridgeshire),
England, is a village near Bury south-west of Ramsey. The
village lies along the High Street which runs parallel to the
main road from Great Raveley to Ramsey about 300 yards to the
west. The church stands about the middle of the village and
there are several 17th-century cottages to the north and south
of it. In September 1917, the Royal Air Force started work on
RAF Upwood, a massive air force base near the village used by
both the RAF and latterly by the United States Air Force. Two
nature reserves, Lady's Wood and Upwood Meadows, lie near to the
village; the latter is a National Nature Reserve.
