Meadowview Campsite in Wicken, Cambridgeshire, is easily accessible, and the ideal base for exploring East Anglia, Meadowview Campsite is within walking distance of the famous Wicken Fen Nature Reserve owned and run by the National Trust. It is located 9 miles from Ely, 9 miles from Newmarket and 14 miles from Cambridge.
Meadowview Campsite is a small family run site. It is level and landscaped with generous grass and hardstand pitches. There are also showering and toilet facilities. There are some beautiful walks around Wicken Fen or, in the opposite direction, across the fields to Soham.
Because the East Anglian fens are relatively flat, Wicken is an excellent base for cycling with some fully maintained cycle routes to choose from, enabling the cyclist to ride to Cambridge or Ely without encountering the road system.
The Maid's Head Pub and Restaurant in the heart of the village serve excellent food.
Just off the main road is the Wicken Smock Mill - believed to be one of only two remaining twelve-sided mills surviving.
St Laurence's Church:
Wicken stands in the deep black fen. This is unsafe ground for building, as the fabric of the church shows. There seems to have been a constant battle to keep the church standing, and the arcades and walls are greatly out of plumb. The church is sited at the extremity of the village and has a small devoted congregation. There is a service every Sunday and special events throughout the year.
Wicken Fen is the oldest nature reserve in England, it was founded in 1899 and has been managed by the National Trust since that time. The fen is a wetland remnant of the Cambridgeshire Fens that once covered large expanses of the county.
The City of Ely:
Ely is today a small city of ancient narrow streets, some interesting old buildings, a busy shopping area and an attractive park which rolls down to the river, but Ely's crowning glory is the magnificent Cathedral.
Thousands of visitors come to Ely Cathedral each year, from all over the world. Few are ever disappointed, for there is something here for everyone. Lovers of architecture will rejoice in the many different styles, blending to make the whole. History abounds around every corner, and the beauty created by artists in wood, stone and glass is everywhere.
Newmarket:
Nestling on the Suffolk-Cambridgeshire border at the gateway to the East of England, Newmarket is both the historical home and the current powerhouse of British horseracing.
Cambridge:
Even if you have never visited Cambridge, it has still touched your life as the place that inspired Darwin, Newton, AA Milne, Wordsworth, John Cleese, Graham Chapman, Eric Idle and Stephen Hawking. Today it is still inspiring thousands of Cambridge students and leads the way in new and emerging technology.
