March North is the ward covering the northern part of the market town of March in Fenland, Cambridgeshire, England. It sits in the characteristic low-lying fen landscape beside the River Nene, with long views over drained arable land and a pattern of drains and dykes that reflect centuries of reclamation and flood management.
Locally the ward feels like a mix of suburban housing, small industrial and distribution units and traditional market-town shops, with many residents commuting to nearby centres such as Peterborough and Ely. Its history is tied to fen drainage and the arrival of the railways, and the community keeps a strong local identity linked to agricultural life and regional events - the distinctive culture of the Fens is never far away, including nearby traditions like the Straw Bear celebrations in Whittlesey.
