Overview

This walk is in two parts. The first part is in Woodwalton Fen, one of the last fragments of wild fen to survive, walk along peaty paths and overlook reedbeds and meres and listen to spring birdsong. The second part is around Upwood, through meadows, an SSSI, woods and farmland. Bring provisions. There is a pub, the Cross Keys, in Upwood at the end of the walk.
