Lode is a small village in East Cambridgeshire on the southern edge of The Fens. It lies just north of the B1102 between Quy and Swaffham Bulbeck, 8 miles to the north east of Cambridge.
The village's name is derived from its location at the southern end of Bottisham Lode that links it to the River Cam. A lode is an artificial water channel used to drain the Fens.
Lode is best known as the location of Anglesey Abbey and for the restored watermill, Lode Mill.
