WELNEY

Welney has a church, pub/restaurant, a large playing field with The William Marshall Centre incorporating parish hall and sports pavilion, a public park at Sandgate Corner and a retirement home. Like many rural communities we have lost several local services in recent years. Our post office and shop closed in June 2007, but postal services are available for an hour or so daily from a mobile post office (times & days vary); local shops are nearby in the villages of Upwell and Manea, and many more shops and a supermarket in the small town of Littleport.

We are surrounded by the small market towns of Wisbech, Downham Market, March and Chatteris and the catherdal..
