If you’ve searched for storage in March and ended up wading through calendar results and dated promotions, you haven’t got it wrong. March, Cambridgeshire is a market town in the Fenland district, not the third month of the year, and the confusion in your search results is a real, provable problem. March is used to being overlooked by search engines. This page is where that stops.
Short answer: yes, March is a real Fenland town (postcode district PE15), not the month. Here’s the proof.
Yes, March Is a Real Place (And No, We Don’t Mean the Month)
March is a market town in the Fenland district of Cambridgeshire, England, with its own statutory Town Council, sitting in the PE15 postcode district. It isn’t a typo or a guess: Fenland District Council’s own reporting describes March as midway through a multi-million-pound town-centre regeneration programme.
Why “March” confuses search results
Type “self storage march” into a search engine, or ask an AI tool the same thing, and something has to decide whether you mean a place or a point on the calendar. That’s a genuine word-sense problem, not a glitch, and it’s easy to get wrong. Get it wrong and your results mix real Fenland listings with generic storage content, stale seasonal promotions, and noise that has nothing to do with the Fens at all. If that’s what happened to you, it isn’t you. It’s the search.
March’s official status
March holds full Town Council status within Fenland district, the tier of local government reserved for towns rather than villages or parishes, as the council’s own directory confirms. Fenland District Council, the local planning authority, lists March among its market towns too.
Where March Actually Sits in the Fens
March sits in the heart of the Fens, roughly 8 to 32 miles from the towns and cities people round here tend to measure themselves against: Wisbech, Chatteris, Ely, Peterborough and Cambridge. That’s not decoration. It’s the clearest way to show you that the March we mean is a specific point on a map with real neighbours, not an idea.
The Fens catchment map
| Town/City | Approx. distance from March | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Wisbech | 9 miles | Straight-line / road |
| Chatteris | approx. 8 miles | Road |
| Ely | 16 miles (approx. 20 miles by road) | Straight-line / road |
| Peterborough | approx. 20 miles | Road |
| Cambridge | 32 miles | Straight-line |
| London | 87 miles | By rail |
These figures are illustrative, drawn from standard geography and route-planning sources rather than a physical survey, so treat them as a fair guide to the catchment rather than an exact mileage for any one journey.
Does Wigwam have a site in these towns too?
No. Wigwam doesn’t currently have a storage site in Wisbech, Chatteris, Ely or Peterborough, only March. The map above proves where March sits in the Fens, not a wider Wigwam footprint than we actually have.
The Wigwam March Site, in Plain Terms
Our March site is a real, unmanned, smart-entry facility. You get in and out yourself, no one needs to meet you there.
Address and access hours
The address is 15 Hostmoor Avenue, March, Cambridgeshire, PE15 0AX, and access runs 6am to 10pm, seven days a week. That’s the full window; we don’t offer round-the-clock access at this or any Wigwam site, so plan your visits accordingly.
What this site is (and isn’t)
Better you find this out here than at the door. The March site doesn’t have container storage: that’s only available at our Shipston-on-Stour, Chipping Norton and Warminster locations. We don’t offer vehicle, motorcycle or caravan storage at March, or anywhere else. Entry is via smart entry, your phone or a code unlocks your own space, because the site is unmanned. Naming the limits plainly is part of getting the basics right.

Why the “Month vs Town” Mix-Up Actually Matters
This isn’t an amusing quirk, it’s a parsing problem worth solving properly, especially now people ask questions through AI tools as often as they type them into a search box. We’re not claiming to be the first to notice it. We’re building the first page that proves it and maps it.
What the search results get wrong
A machine has to decide whether “march” in your query is a place or a point in the calendar, and it gets that wrong often enough to be annoying. If you’ve felt a flicker of “am I searching this wrong,” you weren’t. The results were.
What nobody else has built
At least one other local storage provider has acknowledged, in a single passing line, that March means the town rather than the month. None of them, as far as we’ve found, have gone further than that one sentence: no map, no distances, no explanation of why the confusion happens. That’s the gap this page fills. Not the first word on the subject, but the first proper one.
