Wicken Fen is one of Britain's oldest nature reserves, and was the first reserve cared for by the National Trust, starting in 1899. The reserve includes fenland, farmland, marsh, and reedbeds. Wicken Fen is one of only four wild fens which still survive in the Great Fen Basin area of East Anglia, where 99.9% of the former fens have now been replaced by arable cultivation.
