About

The landscape is largely flat, agricultural land, with the River Steeping winding through the area. The town itself has a historic core centred around its market place and St. Mary's Church.

Drainage channels and flood banks are prominent features, reflecting the ongoing management of the low-lying fenland environment. The ward includes the nearby village of Friskney, extending towards The Wash coastline, with a mix of arable farms and smaller settlements defining the wider parish areas.
