The Great Fen is a wildlife restoration project connecting the two National Nature Reserves of Woodwalton Fen and Holme Fen, some of the last fragments of wild fen in Britain. Discover the precious habitat of this new Living Landscape where birds of prey command the sky, secretive water deer move stealthily through the reedbeds and rare sphagnum moss supports a vibrant ecosystem.
