Find Your Favourite Wisbech Holiday Cottages

Wisbech is a historic fenland market town in Cambridgeshire within an easy drive of the East Anglian coast and the university city of Cambridge. With the beautiful River Nene running through the heart of town, Wisbech makes for wonderful holiday memories with its unspoilt Georgian architecture and the famous, stunning North Brink area of town. Along North Brink is the splendid must-see Peckover House, a National Trust property dating to 1722. Rent a holiday cottage and stroll through the Saturday market, sampling local foods and then bringing something home to eat. Venture back out with your friends to The Angles Theatre, a small yet professional space supported by comedians like Jo Brand. The cosy Rose Tavern provides a traditional setting for a quiet drink, while El Good’s Brewery has an open garden with a lake and even a maze, with its Cambridge Bitter winning ‘Champion Beer of Britain’. Families will enjoy a ‘flying visit’ to the Fens Falconry.
