One of my favourite nature reserves. Wonderful meadows and fen. The orchids are a particular wonder. Walk through here to access the equally good Fleam Dyke. This is a nature reserve, please keep dogs on a lead at all time, and take your dog waste home with you

Had a wonderful walk . It's beautiful and peaceful, a place where you can think and breathe easy and clearly. I found that the hawthorns have such a bountiful fruit harvest this year. Plump juicy. Perfect for hawthorns ketchup.
