The Ouse Washes is a SSSI and an internationally important wetland habitat. Stretching from St Ives to Downham Market it serves as a flood storage area and is often under water in the winter. My dad tells tales of nearly being washed away crossing in the car, back in the day! Some areas of the Washes are managed by the RSPB.
