Described as a "quiet corner of Cambridgeshire", BBC Countryfile has named a nature reserve in the county one of the best places to go for a walk in England. One of the remaining parts of the ancient fenland, it's a breath of fresh air from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Woodwalton Fen in Huntingdonshire spans 500 acres and is one of the rare places where you can see what the ancient fenland would have looked like before it was drained for agriculture. It once extended over 850,000 acres and its amazing that any part of it exists at all.

Owned by the Wildlife Trust BCN and managed by Natural England, it is one of the oldest nature reserves in the UK, having been bought in 1919.
