With its dramatic sunsets, big open skies and flat landscape, the Fens have captivated many artists and visitors. With nearly 1 million acres of beautiful black soil and wildlife-rich water interspersed with towns and villages, The Fens is a haven for wildlife and ideal for walkers and cyclists as well as boaters on the Great River Ouse. The Fens are unique with an atmosphere and character all of their own offering a chance to really get away from it all. The Fens stretch from Cambridge to Lincoln and from King’s Lynn in Norfolk to Peterborough. Ely with its stunning Cathedral lies in the heart of the Cambridgeshire Fens.
