The Fens
If you’re searching for a tranquil area to take you away from the hustle and bustle of modern life and get you back in touch with nature, then take a look at the Fens.
David Bellamy, Britain’s favourite botanist, termed the Fens “a natural manscape”. The land was once covered in water, bogs and marshes until man took on the mammoth task of draining this vast area and turning it into some of the most fertile farmland in Britain. Because it’s so flat, it’s ideal walking or cycling country, with peaceful waterways for boating and fishing.
But it’s also an area of great wildlife interest and breathtaking vistas. The perfectly straight horizon means you can see for miles and suddenly you’re aware of a feeling of space and a quiet humbleness as you realise your place in the world.
Come to discover a very different landscape and we guarantee your efforts will be rewarded.
