About

March North sits on the northern edge of the market town of March in Fenland, along the River Nene. The area includes a mix of housing, former industrial sites and local shops that serve the town. St Wendreda’s Church stands within the town and is notable for its roof lined with about 120 carved wooden angels, a feature that draws interest from visitors and local historians. Local street patterns reflect the town’s growth in the 19th and 20th centuries when rail and canal links shaped development.

The surrounding landscape is typical fenland: flat fields, drainage channels and farm tracks extending toward the washes. March railway station provides regular services to Ely and Peterborough, giving the area rail access without leaving the town. Public green spaces, community facilities and small business parks sit close to residential streets, and the River Nene remains a working waterway for navigation and drainage. Daily life in March North is shaped by agriculture, transport links and the town’s long history as a market centre.
