Whittlesey is a historic market town located in the Fenland district of Cambridgeshire, England. Situated approximately 6 miles east of Peterborough, the town has a rich history dating back to the Anglo-Saxon period.

The town's character is defined by its well-preserved architectural heritage, including the notable 12th-century St. Mary's Church and the 14th-century St. Andrew's Church. Whittlesey is known for its unique cultural tradition of the Straw Bear Festival, held annually in January, which celebrates the old Fenland plough custom and has become an important part of the town's cultural identity.

The surrounding fenland landscape, which was once underwater, has played a crucial role in shaping the town's development and historical industries, particularly brick-making and agriculture. The town maintains its traditional market town atmosphere while serving as a residential and cultural center for the surrounding rural area.
