The Whittlesea Straw Bear
Whittlesey is a small market town situated on the edge of the Fens in the middle of a triangle between Peterborough, Wisbech and March. Whittlesey town holds a small Friday market and a large Sunday market. It is host to some excellent fishing lakes and keen favorites for Anglers. The scenery in the Fens is stunning all the year round and always guarantees some excellent pictures with photographers. The local churches, St Andrew’s and St Mary’s, in Whittlesey town are medieval, dating back to the 13th and 14th centuries and both were restored during the 19th century. The spire of St Mary’s, a recognised landmark, can be seen for many miles across the Fens.

LOCATION Whittlesey is located between the city of Peterborough, 6 miles (10 km) to the west and the town of March, 11 miles (18 km) to the east, and is bordered to the north by the River Nene and to the south by Whittlesey Dyke. Historically it was connected to Peterborough and March by the Roman road Fen Causeway constructed in the first century AD, a route approximately followed by the modern A605. The rail station is on the line between Peterborough and Ely (historically the Great Eastern Line), with direct trains to Cambridge, Birmingham, Liverpool, Leicester, Stansted Airport and others.
Bed & Breakfast The Letter B has a number of quality rooms available for guests who are visiting the Fens for enjoyment or contractors working in the area. Evening meals are also an option offered to our guests.
The Letter B is host to the Lions who meet here every month on a regular basis. We are also home to the Gruftons. This organisation consists of a group of people dedicated to the pursuit of good real ale. The Letter B is also involved in fundraising and has raised thousands for local charities including WHITTLESEY FIRST RESPONDERS through charity bike rides and quizzes.
