A unique fragment of the wilderness that once covered East Anglia.
The Fen is a haven for birds, plants, insects and mammals alike, including a boardwalk nature trail.
There are acres of paths to explore on Baker’s, Adventurers’ and Burwell Fens and beyond. See our map or speak to a member of our friendly visitor welcome team for more information.
There are several reasons that we ask for dogs to be kept on leads, and one of the main reasons is for the safety of your and our animals. Wicken Fen is home to our grazing herds of konik ponies and highland cattle.
We also politely ask for all walkers to keep their dogs on leads for the comfort of other visitors, for the safety of the wildlife on the reserve, and the wellbeing of animals in the neighbouring fields.
Eating with your dog
Take your dog into the café – on a short lead – while you choose and order your food. Seating is available on picnic benches beside the boat house or in the car park.
