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.
