March, in Cambridgeshire, had a population of around 21,000 at the 2021 census — often described as the largest town in the Fens, and shaped as much by its railway as by the flat farmland around it.
The largest town in the Fens, built by the railway
March sits at the centre of the Fens, and is frequently cited as the largest town in that flat, low-lying region of eastern England. Its modern growth owes a great deal to the railway: from the mid-19th century, March became a major junction where lines to Cambridge, Peterborough, Ely and King's Lynn met, and Whitemoor Yard on the edge of town grew into one of the largest railway marshalling yards in the country, sorting wagons for goods traffic across the region. The railway shaped the town's growth and its workforce for generations.
What that history doesn't leave behind
March's railway heritage doesn't come with a dedicated bulk sweet shop — there's nowhere locally set up for bulk bags, vegan-specific ranges or halal-friendly lines at scale.
Why March shoppers order online anyway
