March Town Trails
'Two walks – the Town Trail and the Riverside Trail - both of which highlight the older more interesting buildings in March and the stories behind them. The two trails may be linked to form a single walk.'
'During its long history stretching back 2000 years, March has served many roles: refuge of saints; monastic estate and place of pilgrimage; stronghold of the Fen Tigers; and in more recent years a thriving market town. March originally developed as two places, "Merche" around St Wendreda’s Church and "Mercheford" around the river. The two were linked by a canal called "The Hythe" which ran into the river. High Dyke, a towpath cum roadway ran alongside the Hythe.'
