Visiting Holme Fen
Two roads pass through Holme Fen National Nature Nature reserve and car parking is available on both. The northerly of the two leaves the Yaxley-Holme road (heading eastwards) just ouside Holme village. The reserve lies on the other side of the railway crossing. The southerly of the two roads branches north from the A660 (Holme-Ramsey St. Marys road) about 1km east of Holme, on a bend. The wood is clearly visable from the main road.
