Wisbech

Wisbech is a historic market town on the tidal bend of the River Nene in the heart of the low-lying Fenland district of Cambridgeshire, England. Often called the "Capital of the Fens", it sits within the reclaimed marshland that defines the area's flat, agricultural landscape and retains a strong riverside and small-port heritage alongside an eye-catching Georgian townscape, notably the Crescent and riverside terraces.

The town has a rich cultural and historic profile - the Wisbech & Fenland Museum is one of the oldest provincial museums in the country and nearby Peckover House reflects the town's genteel past - while its economy today mixes market town services, horticulture and intensive agriculture that rely on seasonal labour, which has made Wisbech relatively diverse socially. Local events, conservation of historic buildings and the continuing trade through the river and surrounding fenland keep it a focal point for the surrounding rural communities.
