The RSPB Ouse Fen nature reserve is where the River Great Ouse spills into the Fens between Willingham & Earith. A working sand and gravel quarry is being transformed into what will be the biggest reedbed in the UK, teaming with birds and wildlife.
This activity is good for wellbeing because
- being outside and in the natural world is a good stress buster;
- physical exercise improves mood – there are walking/running trails around the site & dogs are welcome (there’s even a dedicated ‘off lead’ area);
- you can connect with friends and family by meeting them for a picnic or walk.

What to expect
There are plenty of spaces in the car park which is well sign-posted and easy to find.
Maps of walking routes are available on information panels on site – some routes may get muddy so bring wellies if it has been raining. If you are planning a long visit, bring drinks and snacks (and binoculars for bird watching!). There is no visitor centre, cafe, shop or public toilet.
