Britain’s oldest nature reserve. Listed here as there is some fascinating 4200 year old bog oak in the cafe area that was found in nearby Adventurer's Fen. See the information board in the photo below for more details.
Wicken Fen is a unique fragment of the wilderness that once covered East Anglia, the Fen is a haven for birds, plants, insects and mammals alike. It can be explored by the traditional wide droves and lush green paths, including a boardwalk nature trail, giving access to several hides. The William Thorpe Visitor Centre provides a range of facilities and information about this fascinating place, which has now embarked on an ambitious expansion plan for the next 100 years.
