St Peter's

The church sits right in the heart of March, a solid medieval structure that's been keeping watch over the town for centuries. St Peter's is the sort of place that rewards a proper look inside - the interior has real character, with decent medieval stonework and enough history embedded in its walls to keep anyone interested for a good half hour.

It's a working parish church, so you'll find it open most days, though it's worth checking ahead if you're making a special trip. The building itself tells the story of what mattered to people here - the craftsmanship in the stone and woodwork suggests this was a community that invested in something lasting. The setting in March's town centre makes it easy to fit into a wider walk around the town, or combine with a visit to nearby Fenland Camping and Caravan Park if you're staying in the area for a longer spell.

Architecture enthusiasts and history types will get the most from a visit. It's not a showpiece cathedral - don't expect that - but it's genuine and unpretentious. Free to enter, no faffing about with entry fees. Allow twenty minutes if you're just passing through, longer if you're the sort who reads every memorial and ponders the craftsmanship. Best visited on a quiet weekday morning when you can actually hear yourself think and won't be dodging tour groups.
