Wicken Fen Cambridgeshire 3rd April 2021

Wicken Fen Nature Reserve is a small undrained part of the fenlands north of Cambridge - less than 1% of original fen survives in East Anglia. It was the first nature reserve owned by the National Trust and has been in their care since 1899.

In a reversal of the normal situation the Trust has built windmills around the reserve not to drain the fen but to pump water back in so it doesn't dry out.
