Whittlesey Heritage Walk

A new, local heritage walk that encourages people to explore the fascinating and often undiscovered history of the ancient market town.

Whittlesey Heritage Walk Logo

Launched in October 2022, the Whittlesey Heritage Walk takes in the town's most historic landmarks and provides a unique insight into its history and heritage, as well as key local transport information.

The walk was originally identified as part of the Growing Fenland Whittlesey project and created thanks to funding from the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority.
