Where smallholders get more property for their money
Posted on 6:39pm Wednesday 16th December 2009
Fenland is a term applied loosely to a large area of Eastern England from the South of the Wolds in Lincolnshire, to parts of Norfolk and across into North Cambridgeshire. Fenland, the area covered by Fenland District Council is more tightly defined, covering Chatteris (25 miles or so from Cambridge) in the South, Wisbech, the ‘Capital of the Fens’ and undergoing a huge regeneration programme focusing on the Marina area in the North and Whittlesey (five or so miles from Peterborough) in the West. Although still very rural, with wide open space and a sky so large that it stretches down to meet the land, it is within really easy commuting distance from Peterborough and Norwich (A47), Birmingham (A14) and London (M11, A1 and even A10 – though close by Huntingdon Station – Kings Cross 50 minutes might be easier!)
