One of my getaway places is Wicken Fen in Cambridgeshire, not far off the A10 north of Ely. So many superlatives cover this area of ancient wetland. One of a few left after much drainage throughout the fens. You will see creatures you only imagined existed! Not mythical of course, but a huge range of bugs and dragonflies await the patient observer. Wear insect repellent!!!
