I'm from America, through research found out I had ancestors that lived in the Fens for a couple of generations,mepal and sutton mostly. I'm coming to Britain for first time in Nov, want to visit Wicken fen. I'm coming in first week of Nov. Is the weather decent enough then? Very interesting video.
Hi Billy, I've often been asked when is the best time to visit Wicken Fen? The simple answer is "any time" . My favourites are the changing of the seasons when everything starts to look different. November is a good time. A lot of the winter wildlife visitors should be in abundance. Wildfowl on Burwell Fen and possibly hen harriers on Sedge Fen. A lot of the management work will have been completed by then but the rangers should still be hard at it. For the best opportunities, call in at the visitor centre and speak to someone there. You'll enjoy your visit do much more if you are pointed in the right direction Regards Martin
