Trail Guides

In November 2024, we began ground and engineering works in the New Decoy area. These exciting works are part of our 5-year National Lottery Heritage Fund project Peatland Progress – A New Vision for the Fens. We have created a variety of new wetland habitats to enhance the value of restored land for wildlife and protect peat soils; and we are improving visitor access by creating a new parking area which is central to the conservation area.

Update October 2026: Work on the new wetland is now complete and paths are open!
