ウッドウォルトン（ハンツ）の湖・トップ5

Being here three times in the nice weather, I consider this a place where you can reset yourself after your daily routine or others, where you can sit and listen to the seagulls and the geese and any other sound. In the evening the sunset was so astonishing during the summer. I understood the place was becoming muddy after a few days of rain.

Bird hide overlooking the wildlife lake at Hichingbrooke Country Park. Look out for the likes of Cormorant, heron, tern, teal, wigeon, coot, moorhen, great crested grebe and great crested newt amongst many others. Don't forget your binoculars!

Burnhams Mere was created when the area was cut for peat, resulting in this wildlife haven.

Like many nature reserves in England, Godmanchester Nature Reserve was once gravel pits. The peaceful nature could not be further away from its industrial history. Keep an eye out for songbirds, ducks, geese, kingfishers and overwintering wildfowl as you run through.

Congratulations, you are at the lowest point in the UK, 3m below sea level. The top of the iron posts marks ground level when the fen was first drained in 1850. Since then they have been progressively exposed by the shrinking peat until the tops now stand 4m above modern ground level.

Godmanchester Nature Reserve is a superb place for a walk, not far from the market town of Huntingdon. As with many other reserves along the Great River Ouse, it occupies the site of a former gravel pit and comprises four lakes with areas of grassland and hedgerows. As well as songbirds, ducks, geese, kingfishers and overwintering wildfowl, the reserve is also notable for its Roman heritage. Roman Lake was the site of a Roman well, discovered during quarrying work in the 1980s.

Stunningly beautiful nature reserve. Great for birdwatchers and for taking a break from cycling to get lost in nature.
