Westry is a small village in the district of Fenland, in Cambridgeshire, England, lying just to the west of the market town of March. It sits in the famously low-lying landscape of the Fens, where flat horizons, drainage channels and peat-rich soils shape both the scenery and the local way of life.
Historically influenced by the large-scale drainage and reclamation work that transformed the fens, the local economy remains strongly agricultural, with arable farming prominent alongside a handful of small businesses and residents who commute to nearby centres such as Peterborough, Ely and Wisbech. Social life is typical of small fenland communities, with village groups and facilities tying people to their rural surroundings and the notable birdlife and wide skies of the area.
