Take a tour of Wisbech

The North and South Brink Georgian streets have changed little over the years and have recently been used as a location for the BBC TV period drama David Copperfield.

As well as the Georgian architecture, the town has many other attractions including the Wisbech and Fenland Museum, the Market Place and the Angles Theatre which is a lively, vibrant and intimate venue for a variety of performing arts. Visitors to Elgoods Brewery can sample some traditional ale and then enjoy the four acre brewery garden.
