ABOUT TURVES

Turves is surrounded by arable farmland and offers a classic peaceful Fenland vibe. It's described by the local council as a "quiet residential area" on the back road between March and Whittlesey, ideal for those who want to escape busier urban life. The abundance of green spaces, open countryside, and natural beauty makes it attractive for peaceful living, walking, or enjoying the flat Fen landscape.

Being just a short drive (around 4–6 miles) from Whittlesey itself gives easy access to a proper market town with independent shops, cafes, pubs, a museum, and community events. Whittlesey is often called "friendly" and "clean," with a thriving high street, good mixture of local businesses, and events that foster community spirit. Many describe the broader area as having "plenty to do for all ages."

Access to Peterborough and beyond, Turves is close enough to Peterborough (about 10–12 miles west of Whittlesey) for city amenities, jobs, shopping, entertainment, and transport links (including trains via Whittlesea station nearby). This blend of rural calm with urban convenience is a big plus, peace at home, but city access when needed.

Turves has its own historic pub, the Three Horseshoes (which locals successfully campaigned to save from demolition in recent years, showing strong community involvement). The surrounding Fens offer natural attractions like nature reserves (e.g., Lattersey nearby in Whittlesey), walking spots, and wildlife.
