Walks & Trails

Begin an adventure!

The Great Fen provides a number of locations where you can walk and enjoy extensive panoramas, as well as particular spots of great wildlife or heritage importance. There's an adventure for everybody, with short tranquil walks providing an introduction to the Fen or much longer routes to amble along enjoying the stunning scenery and wildlife displays.  

Take a look at walks and adventure trail guides below.

UPDATE November 2024
Please note: From Friday 15th November we are undertaking ground and engineering works in the New Decoy area. These exciting works are part of our 5-year National Lottery Heritage Fund project Peatland Progress – A New Vision for the Fens. We are creating a variety of new wetland habitats to enhance the value of restored land for wildlife and protect peat soils; and we are improving visitor access by creating a new parking area which is central to the conservation area.

This means East sections of both The Last of the Meres and Dragonfly Trails are closed while construction is underway. Public access to these areas is not permitted from 15th November until further notice for your safety. Please follow the signposted diversions. You'll notice a loop is still possible on the Dragonfly Trail, it's just a bit shorter. Diversion maps are located at New Decoy Information Point car park and Northern Loop car park.

We do apologise for any inconvenience but look forward to reopening access for you to enjoy these new wetlands and the wildlife they'll attract in due course. Thank you for your understanding and patience.
