Chatteris North & Manea

Chatteris North & Manea ward encompasses a section of the Cambridgeshire Fens characterised by expansive, low-lying agricultural land. The area is defined by straight drainage channels and roads that follow the engineered landscape. The settlement of Manea lies to the west, a village with a history linked to the surrounding peat soil. The ward's eastern portion includes the northern outskirts of Chatteris, where residential streets meet open farmland.

A notable railway crossing exists at Manea station, providing a direct link on the Ely to Peterborough line. The local geography is dominated by large, productive fields, primarily for arable crops, with scattered farmsteads. The landscape is subtly shaped by the ongoing management of water levels, essential in this part of the Fens. Social and commercial activity is focused within the two main settlements.
