Why it's Wildland
6.5A prehistoric landscape on the edge of Peterborough, where visitors can explore reconstructed Bronze Age buildings and see preserved timbers from an ancient causeway.
Flag Fen earns its place for the rare encounter between a reconstructed prehistoric landscape and fragile archaeology preserved in place. The causeway remains give the visit a tangible connection to life in the fen more than three millennia ago; check current opening and admission details before setting out.
