Situated in the expansive, seemingly never-ending Lincolnshire Fens, Baston Fen is a lovely little reserve with an array of habitats.
Baston Fen LWT Reserve is a long tract of permanent pasture, which is flooded in winter and attracts large numbers of wildfowl. Baston Fen is interesting because the site has so much wildlife in such a small space (especially in winter). If you are a waterfowl enthusiast this is the place for you, with lots of different species easily viewed from a walk along the dyke. Waders can be prominent here also. Among the birds you can encounter are Sangsvane, Heilo, Gjøk, Sivspurv, Rødhøne, Kvartbekkasin, Tjeld, Skjeand, Rørsanger, Vipe and Sivhauk.
Baston Fen LWT Reserve is located 3 miles (5 km) southeast of the town of Bourne. Go on the road from Langtoft to Tongue End, and it's just round the corner from Windmill Farm Caravan Park. Click on the P in the map for directions.
