March in Cambridgeshire
In touch with its past – connected for the future.
The best of the beautiful fens surround ancient March in Cambridgeshire. This thriving market town on the banks of the River Nene has lost none of its traditional charm and character, successfully incorporating essential developments to roads and amenities and embracing national retail chains, whilst preserving its unique heritage as one of the most important settlements in the historic Isle of Ely.
The most impressive link to this heritage is St Wendreda’s church, world famous for its magnificent double hammer beam roof, supported by 120 carved angels. The poet John Betjeman described St Wendreda’s as “worth cycling 40 miles in a head wind to see”.
Covering 40 miles is a lot easier these days, whatever your choice of transport. Excellent road links put March half an hours drive from Peterborough, Huntingdon and the A1/M. Cambridge is an hour away by car and the regular train link will take you to London in an hour and a half.
Well connected yet wonderfully unspoilt, March is a jewel in the Cambridgeshire fens. Few towns can offer you riverside walks with views across unspoilt countryside just minutes from their bustling centre, itself just a picturesque walk from your beautiful new home.
