Whittlesey sits on the very western edge of the Fens, close to the cathedral city of Peterborough. The town has an interesting maze of streets with a mix of architecture spanning several centuries.
Chatteris would have been a seaside town in Neolithic times, it perched on the edge of a vast tract of salt marshes.
March was once an island surrounded by marshes. As the land was drained and made more fertile the town grew and prospered.
