사우스 케임브리지셔‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪6‬개의 천연기념물

Parking is £2. There is a portaloo and a bin in the carpark. This hike was limited in what you could see, in August the trees and weeds blocked most of the view. For safety note that the pathway takes the narrow road that cars are entering and exiting. There are two crossings over the guided path where the buses are traveling at speed. The first part of the walk by the Ouse was lovely as was the last part on a field where you ton off by the weight limited bridge. I would imagine in winter the path would be a mush pit.

The bus whizzes through the yellow grain landscape like oiled lightning. The intercity bus from Cambridge to St Ivy rolls over a special lane bus track and reaches an impressive speed. Today he transports the four of us to the "Fen Drayton Lakes Nature Reserve", in the lake landscape we hike and do "birdwatching". “Fen Drayton Lakes was originally a flooded sand and gravel pit bordering river floodplains. Today the area is a magnet for a variety of wildlife including otters, dragonflies, ducks, swans and geese. There is something to see (and hear) here all year round.” (https://www.rspb.org.uk/reserves-and-events/reserves-a-z/fen-drayton-lakes/)

Part of the RSPB Nature Reserve, Far Fen Lake is recognisable by the island near its eastern shore.

On Stow cum Quy Fen is a small rectangular pond. It is likely this is a filled in pit from the 19th century when coprolite was quarried in the area. Then a valuable fertiliser, coprolite is apparently dinosaur dug. The area is now a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI).

This is the site of an ambitious project, a partnership between the RSPB and Hanson to transform a working sand and gravel quarry into a thriving nature reserve. When it is complete, it will boast the largest reed bed in the UK. It is hoped that by 2030, the expanse of wetland habitat will cover the area of 980 football pitches. The site is already seeing some great success stories, such as a breeding pair of European cranes.

Go to the rear of St Mary's churchyard and there is a dirt path that runs over an old railway bridge and you will end up at Bartlow Hills https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bartlow_Hills

Orwell Clunch Pit is a 1.8 hectare biological Site of Special Scientific Interest on the northern outskirts of Orwell in Cambridgeshire.
