Trails
on Wicken Fen
Detailed trail guides are
on sale in the Visitor Centre
The Boardwalk is 3/4 mile in length, and is accessible all year round.
No special footwear
is needed.
The Boardwalk is ideal for wheelchairs and pushchairs.
A specially adapted hide
is easily reached, and suitable for use by all.
Benches are provided at regular intervals
all around the walk.
The Nature Trail and Adventurers' Trail
are for the more
adventurous. These take the visitor through over two miles of the Reserve,
passing through many different habitats and management areas.
In wet weather
these trails can be quite
muddy.
The Nature Trail includes the Tower Hide, one of the oldest hides in the country.
Parts of the Nature Trail can be hard walking in hot or wet weather - please
telephone or enquire at the Visitor Centre if you are at all unsure and we will happily
advise you on the most suitable route to take.
Hot weather
There
is little shade on the Fen so on hot days a hat and suncream may be
useful.
The
Fen can also be humid and hot still days and therefore a supply of
drinking water can be useful.
Mosquitoes
The
Fens are famous for their mosquitoes, and as Wicken is justly renowned for
its insect life visitors are recommended to use a mosquito repellent
during summer months.
