From the Wikipedia article
Fulbourn Fen is a 27.3-hectare (67-acre) biological Site of Special Scientific Interest east of Fulbourn, Cambridgeshire. It is privately owned and managed by the Wildlife Trust for Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Northamptonshire. There are ancient meadows on calcareous loam and peat which have never been intensively farmed, so they have a rich diversity of flora and fauna. Herbs in drier areas include cowslip and salad burnet, while wetter areas have tall fen vegetation. There is access by a track from Stonebridge Lane. There are eight separately named woods in Fulbourn Fen: The Cringles - north & north-east Moat Wood - north-west Thackets Wood - west Ansett's Wood - south-west Old Orchard - south Hancock's Wood - central Widow's Wood - south-east Old Orchard - south and five separate meadows: Ox Meadow - west Moat Meadow - north-west - the site of the remains of Zouches Manor Long Fen Pasture - central East Fen Pasture - east Four Acre - south-east
