This walk will be on our Boardwalk, a perfect place for listening to the wind in the reeds, birdsong and insects, and led hands on discovery. The route will include stopping off at Sound Pools to listen to underwater sound montages.

Sound Pools is created by Kathy Hinde as part of our Listen to the Voices of the fen project, supported with public funding by Arts Council England.
