Holme Fen is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) as well as a National Nature Reserve (NNR). It is in the location of Whittlesey Mere, once the biggest lake in England, which was drained in the mid 19th century so the land could be used for farming. This south western shore of the huge lake could not be made dry enough for farming.
