About

Chatteris lies in the heart of the Fenland district, surrounded by expansive, low-lying agricultural land. The town's layout and history are intrinsically linked to the drainage of the Fens, with its economy traditionally centred on food processing and farming. The landscape is characterised by straight drainage channels and wide skies.

The local church of St Peter & St Paul is a notable landmark with a distinctive spire. A specific reminder of the area's past is the annual Fenland Daisy Fair, a tradition revived from the 19th century. The surrounding fields produce crops like wheat, potatoes, and bulbs, defining the working environment.
