March
March was once an island surrounded by marshes. As the land was drained and became more fertile the town grew and prospered.
Today March is a busy market town on the course of the old River Nene, which winds its way through the town centre, past the park and pretty riverside gardens. The river is often busy with colourful boats cruising the fenland waterways. March is one of the most convenient stop-overs between Peterborough and Cambridge. The town centre has an unusual broad street lined with shops and headed by an elaborate fountain. Further south the medieval church of St Wendreda has a stunning double hammer-beam roof displaying 120 carved angels.
