About Whittlesey

Whittlesey Fields offers the perfect balance of urban convenience and a rural lifestyle. Whittlesey is a small vibrant town with a traditional High Street. The town has an eclectic mixture of high street and independent stores, cafes, restaurants and bars. Conveniently located in the heart of East Anglia, Whittlesey offers the opportunity to visit large cities and the coast on any given day. 

Getting out and about 

Whittlesey is an interesting maze of streets with a mix of architecture spanning several centuries. South of the town, a branch of the River Nene meanders alongside the Manor Fields and is a perfect spot to see boats moor and take a stroll.

The Buttercross in the Market Place is one of the most striking buildings and a reminder of Whittlesey's rich trading and agricultural history. Each January Whittlesey celebrates the old agricultural custom of Straw Bear dancing with a three day festival that grows bigger and better each year. 'The Bear', a man in a costume made of straw, is accompanied by his keeper and several hundred dancers and musicians in a procession around the town and stops off for refreshments at pubs along the route.
