Lakenheath Fen RSPB reserve

Lakenheath Fen extends across 1,400 acres of wetlands, reedbeds, and open water areas, providing natural habitats for numerous bird species and wildlife.

The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds transformed this land from carrot fields into a protected wetland ecosystem starting in 1995.

The reserve functions as an educational center where visitors learn about wildlife conservation through guided tours and specialized programs.

Visitors can access multiple walking trails, observation points, and a visitor center that provides detailed information about local species and seasonal events.

The reserve houses a population of bitterns, rare birds that make distinct sounds within the dense reedbeds during their breeding season.
