Chatteris is a small market town and civil parish in the Fenland district of Cambridgeshire, England. It sits on the low-lying, reclaimed fenlands that give the area its rich agricultural soils and distinctive network of drains and dykes, with easy access to nature spots such as the Nene Washes and nearby Ely for larger services.
Historically a medieval market settlement, Chatteris still retains a local market and a notable parish church, while the economy is largely centred on farming, food processing and light industry alongside commuter links to Peterborough. The town has an active community life with clubs and annual events, and is popular for birdwatching and walking thanks to its Fenland landscape.
