Descripción

The raised boardwalk and lush grass droves allow easy access to a lost landscape of flowering meadows, sedge and reedbeds, where you can encounter rarities such as Aguilucho pálido, water voles and Avetoro Común. Wicken Fen Vision, an ambitious landscape-scale conservation project, is opening up new areas of land to explore.
