Find My Favourite Holiday Cottages in The Fens
The Fens primarily lie around the coast of The Wash in the East of England, occupying an area of nearly 1,500 square miles. Most of the Fens are situated only a few metres above sea level, and, like the low-level areas in Holland, the land would have been covered in fresh or salt-water wetlands but are continually drained by pumps and protected by artificial banks. Places like the Horsey Windpump, now operated by the National Trust, welcome visitors. The flatness of the Fens creates some incredible big-sky landscapes that are much photographed or painted by visitors. As a result of this natural source of water and minerals, the reclaimed land is now a fertile source of crops in England.
