Arger Fen

The 49.7-hectare reserve contains ancient woodland, wet meadows, and fen areas with varied geological features including sand, gravel banks, and clay soils.

The land management practices over centuries have shaped the current landscape, with grazing activities influencing the distribution of plant species across the reserve.

The reserve serves as an educational center where visitors learn about woodland ecosystems through organized nature walks and seasonal wildlife observation programs.

Two marked trails with boardwalk sections guide visitors through the reserve, while the main parking area provides direct access to the walking paths.

This woodland stands as one of only two locations in Eastern England containing natural wild cherry trees, alongside 300-year-old ash specimens.
