The Fens & the Norfolk Broads are unique with an atmosphere and character all of their own. This fascinating land with its special history and heritage, offers something with a real difference, a chance to really get away from it all on a relaxing holiday or short break. The Fens stretch from Cambridge to Lincoln and from King’s Lynn to Peterborough – nearly 1 million acres of beautiful black soil and wildlife-rich water. The Fens of today are a people-made landscape, as full of history and heritage as they are of flowers, horticulture, water and wildlife.
