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

They may look like out of place lampposts but Holme Posts are part of history. The posts were buried in 1848 to measure how much the land sunk after Whittlesey Mere, once on this site, was drained. The peat lake floor had been soaked in water but after drainage, the peat shrank, as did the height of the land. The top of the posts, once level with the ground, are now around 4m above it. The posts are generally accepted to mark the lowest land point in Great Britain at 2.75m below sea level.

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.
