Located on the North Brink in Wisbech, a characterful pub (Free House) specialising in real ale where a friendly and a warm welcome await both you and your Kanine friend. You will regularly find tipples such as Woodforde's Wherry & London Pride on the pumps along with guest appearances from both local & national breweries both small & large such as Elgoods & Tydd Steam, from the Wisbech area stretching far and wide with beers from St Austell, Charlie Wells, Batemans, Eccleshall & Brains to name but a few. Although dogs are very welcome, we recommend avoiding bringing them along during our busier time e.g. Friday evenings, our pub is relatively small and we would hate for your dog to get trodden on. Our annual beer festival is held on the last full weekend in June, where we aim to have a good selection of 20-25 real ales, sourced locally, regionally and nationally. There is usually live music on Saturday night, Sunday afternoon and Sunday evening to entertain all our customers. All in all it's a fab weekend, rain, wind or shine!

This farm, converted to a nature reserve is a lovely place to get away from it all for a while. It has an old railway carriage which serves as a very cute tearoom and the home made cheese scone and carrot chutney were delicious. The cakes looked amazing but sadly I had no room left after the scone!! The family who own the woodland walks are clearly passionate and rightly proud of what they have achieved here and Alan gives a guided tour of the woodland and farmland walk around the site for first time visitors. Easy to find, good parking and dog friendly this was a really pleasant place to visit in the countryside if the Fens. Do take cash though as there is no card machine there at present.

I never pass by this Memorial but I think of the great sacrifices of those who bravely gave their lives that we might live. It is a noble and powerful memorial to them.

Lovely and interesting church to look round, beautiful stained glass windows. St Peter's church gardens next to the church are beautifully kept with nice benches to sit on.

This statue is by the river just off the high street on the old A47. It has been renovated in the last few years. It commemorates Thomas Clarkson who was the prime mover in the abolition of the slave trade. He recruited William Wilberforce. The statue is made of a number of different types of Sandstone beautifully carved into scenes of slaves breaking their chains. It is well worth a look.

Despite markets such as Lincoln market being called off today the Wisbech Christmas market went ahead. Lots of stalls and interesting items for sale. The town centre was closed to traffic so pedestrians were able to wander about freely. The snow added to the seasonal atmosphere.
