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.

This is a hidden gem in the centre of Wisbeach. The cafe is in a lovely courtyard together with the bookshop and is a very peaceful setting. The gardens are very well laid out with beautiful flower beds and orders, and the croquet lawn is a gem in the midst of the town. On the day of our visit a pianist was playing in the library , it was a wonderful experience. The house is very welcoming and has a wonderful atmosphere, well worth a visit.

Not currently open for many hours it seems, but we'll worth a visit. Very friendly, volunteer staff in a quaint and apparently ancient green painted shed. Sit inside or outside under cover in the quiet garden. There's lovely home made cakes and a choice of freshly brewed coffee (with free top-ups! when it's quiet), tea and various cold drinks, all very reasonably priced. A little gem in the the centre of town. Check online for opening hours. There's not a lot of parking right outside but there are big, free car parks nearby.

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.
