Fenland horizons stretch wide and flat around March, where the sky claims more than its fair share of the view. It lies 6.5 miles north-north-east of Chatteris (from Chatteris: bearing 15°T, OS grid TL 416 964), and is situated south-east of Westry village. The Old Course of the River Nene winds through the centre, reflecting a light that seems scrubbed clean by the constant breeze. Historically, the trade of grain and coal along these waterways sustained the local economy, grounding the prosperity of the inhabitants in the heavy, fertile silt. Today, the quiet industry of the region continues to pull its strength from the earth, even as the railways have replaced the slow passage of barges.
West End Park offers a reprieve of green where the light filters through mature trees, casting long shadows across the grass that hint at the slow, deliberate pace of the afternoon. The March & District Museum preserves the odd, lingering relics of this landscape, holding onto memories of a world before the modern sprawl began to soften the edges of the fens. Visitors might stumble upon the curious remnants at Fossils Galore, a quiet reminder that this flat expanse was once a very different world beneath the waves. While the town does not boast the grand spires of a university seat, it maintains a steady, independent character defined by its proximity to the water and the open, unyielding expanse of the surrounding fields. The local spirit remains tied to the rhythm of the seasons, as steady and persistent as the slow, dark flow of the river itself.
