Fens
The vast Fens have an almost other-worldly atmosphere.
Stretching all the way from Cambridge to Lincoln and from Kings Lynn to Peterborough, flat Fenland is known affectionately as South Holland thanks to the bright colours of the bulb fields. This is a unique and incredibly fertile landscape. Criss-crossed by drainage channels and slow-flowing rivers, the Fens' huge horizons and water meadows make it a delightful and relaxing retreat.
The other-worldly Fens are an attractive and atmospheric part of rural Britain, once renowned for their enthralling tales of witch-hunts and ghostly happenings. Visitors are enchanted by stunning skyscapes, unforgettable sunsets and important nature reserves such as Welney and Wicken Fen. The historic cities of Lincoln, Peterborough and Ely, the university city of Cambridge and several bustling market towns draw tourists all year round.
