Clock Tower

The Clock Tower in March is one of those landmarks that stops you dead on the high street. It's a Victorian structure that actually commands attention - not flashy, just solidly built and difficult to miss when you're wandering through town. The tower itself is functional rather than ornate, but there's something reassuring about it, the kind of thing that's anchored the place for generations.

You can walk right up to it, which is the main appeal here. There's no entrance fee or visitor centre - this is a proper town landmark, not an attraction with staff and opening times. It's worth a few minutes of your time if you're passing through March anyway, though I wouldn't say it's worth a special trip on its own. Photographers and architecture types might squeeze a few decent shots from different angles, especially if the light's right.

What makes it work better is combining it with a walk around March itself. The town has its own rhythm, and the clock tower sits at the heart of it. If you're staying at Fields End Water or Fenland Camping nearby, it's an easy spin into town for a morning coffee run. You can park up, grab a look at the tower, and carry on with your day. Realistically, allow ten minutes. Bring a camera if you're that way inclined, but don't expect anything to rival the grand Victorian edifices you'll find in larger cities.
