March is a Fenland market town in the Isle of Ely area of Cambridgeshire, England.

March was the county town of the Isle of Ely, a separate administrative county between 1889 and 1965, and is now the administrative centre of Fenland District Council.  It was an important railway centre, with a major junction station on the Great Eastern and Great Northern railways, 88 miles (142 km) from London by rail, 29 north from Cambridge, 14 north-west from Ely and 9 south from Wisbech.  The town is situated on the banks of the River Nene, which is navigable, and is used by pleasure boats.  Like many Fenland towns, March was once an island surrounded by marshes.  It occupied the second largest "island" in the Great Level.  As the land drained, the town grew and prospered as a trading and religious centre.  It was also a minor port and, in more recent times, a market town and an administrative and railway centre.

Farming contributes significantly to the success of the local economy, supporting a large number of businesses involved in the production of food and rural tourism. However farming also makes a major contribution to protecting the environment and underpinning healthy and vibrant communities.
