Wisbech is the capital of the Fens, a Georgian market town on the River Nene with an ornate waterfront that earns it the nickname 'Little Venice of the Fens'. The town is a major centre for food processing and agriculture, and potential future rail reconnection to Cambridge could transform its property market from one of the county's most affordable areas.
“Major food processing hub with major packers and producers. Port activity with timber and agricultural products. Georgian architecture.”
