Set in the heart of the Cambridgeshire Fens, March is a market town defined by its connection to the water and the railways. It sits on the banks of the Old River Nene, where the high street bridge serves as a focal point for the town, overlooking narrowboats moored along the quay. Historically, March was an island in the marshes until the fens were drained, eventually evolving into one of the country's most significant railway hubs; even today, Whitemoor Yard remains a major presence on the edge of town. For getting around, you’re well-positioned on the Ely-to-Peterborough line, providing straightforward rail links to Cambridge and London. The landscape here is famously flat, dominated by big skies and open fields, though the town centre itself feels enclosed and steady, with a mix of independent shops and an impressive double-hammerbeam roof at St Wendreda’s Church. It’s a functional, unpretentious place that feels tucked away from the busier pace of the southern part of the county.
