World Wetland Day Walk

Explore some of the wider nature reserve with a guided walk, on this international day celebrating the importance and wonder of wetlands.

  • Booking essential

Wicken Fen is an internationally recognised wetland, significant for both its historic undrained side, and also now for its ambition in expanding wetland habitat to support biodiversity and combat climate change.

We will lead a walk, looking at how the team manages the site, what its key features and species are - and ending back at the café for a warming soup.
