About

The Marshland area encompasses a low-lying, historically drained landscape of agricultural fields, crisscrossed by drainage channels and droves. The villages of Walpole St Peter, Walpole St Andrew, and Walton Highway are situated within this distinctive, engineered environment. The straight lines of the roads and watercourses contrast with the expansive, open skies typical of the Fens.

A notable landmark is the 14th-century church of St Mary in West Walton, which stands separate from its village with an immense, free-standing bell tower. This reflects the area's medieval importance before the land was fully reclaimed. The local economy remains closely tied to the fertile soil, with large-scale farming defining the flat, wide vistas between settlements.
