Wisbech: Museums, Exhibitions & Discounts

Wisbech, known as the 'Capital of the Fens', is a historic market town in Cambridgeshire, England. Located on the River Nene, the town has a rich heritage dating back to the Middle Ages. Once a thriving port town, Wisbech retains much of its Georgian architecture, particularly along its famous North Brink, which is considered one of the finest examples of Georgian street architecture in Great Britain.

The town's cultural heritage is reflected in its historic buildings, including Peckover House, a National Trust property, and the Wisbech Castle. The town has played a significant role in the agricultural history of the Fens region and continues to be an important center for the local farming community. Throughout its history, Wisbech has been associated with notable figures such as Thomas Clarkson, a prominent abolitionist, and Octavia Hill, a social reformer and co-founder of the National Trust.
