Whittlesey is a traditional Fenland market town tucked between Peterborough and the Cambridgeshire fens, with a character all its own. It's the kind of place where life has a gentler pace, yet there's always something going on. From the narrow winding streets and historic buildings to the lively pubs and independent shops, it's a proper community hub with deep roots and a strong sense of local pride.

The town's history goes back thousands of years—Bronze Age remains have been found nearby, and the famous Must Farm archaeological site just outside the town revealed one of the best-preserved prehistoric settlements ever discovered in Britain. The town grew up between the River Nene and the marshes, developing as a market centre and later benefiting from rail links and local brickworks. Its population now sits around 17,000 and rising, with new developments on the edge of town blending in with the older cottages and Georgian terraces that shape its character.

Whittlesey is well known for its quirky traditions, especially the annual Straw Bear Festival in January, where a costumed 'bear' parades through the streets followed by music, dancing and plenty of community spirit. The town centre offers all the essentials—shops, pubs, cafés, and a weekly market—while the Buttercross in the Market Place stands as a proud reminder of its trading past. The town's location makes it ideal for exploring the wider fens by bike or on foot, and just a short drive away is Flag Fen, an ancient causeway and Bronze Age settlement. Peckover House in Wisbech, a National Trust gem, isn't far either, offering gardens, history and that peaceful atmosphere you only get in historic Fenland towns.

Further afield, Cambridgeshire has loads to explore. Cambridge itself is packed with colleges, museums, punting and brilliant independent shops and cafés. Ely's cathedral towers over its compact centre, and the riverside is lovely for a day out. Duxford's Imperial War Museum is one of the best in the country, and Anglesey Abbey mixes gardens, woodland and historic interiors. For nature lovers, Wicken Fen is perfect for spotting wildlife and enjoying the flat, open views that define the region.

Getting to Whittlesey is easy enough. The town has its own railway station with direct connections to Peterborough and Ely, linking into the wider national network. The A605 runs just south of the town, offering quick road access to the A1 and A47. There are regular bus routes to Peterborough and surrounding villages. If you're flying, the nearest airport is Stansted—just over an hour away by car—and East Midlands isn't much further. The town itself is flat and easy to walk or cycle around, with everything close at hand.

Cambridgeshire is a county that manages to be both forward-looking and deeply rooted in its past. Whether you're wandering through ancient fenland, exploring university towns, or visiting peaceful nature reserves, there's always a sense of history mixed with everyday life. It's a place shaped by waterways and big skies, where communities like Whittlesey still hold onto their traditions while embracing the modern world around them.
