  • Fen-Edge-Trail-Information-For-Groups.Pdf
    www.fenedgetrail.org [email protected] Information for groups/organisations The Fen Edge Trail will provide a walking route around the Cambridgeshire Fens, roughly following the land that is 5 metres above sea level (5 metre contour), where the low-lying fenland meets the surrounding higher land. With short detours to visit nearby viewpoints, historical and cultural sites and areas good for wildlife, the Trail will enable people to enjoy this fascinating area that has been of strategic importance for the local inhabitants since their first arrival. The aim of the project is to promote interest in the landscape by directly linking its character, including its geology, formation and current features, to its human history and development and the local wildlife, both past and present. The Cambridgeshire Geological Society (CGS) created the Fen Edge Trail as part of its Geosites initiative, which aims to ensure that local sites of landscape and geological interest are identified and protected, and that their im- portance and interest is shared with the general public. The Fenland Trust is working in partnership with the CGS, particularly in developing the Fen Edge Trail website and liaison with community groups. A number of other local organisations, including The Great Fen/The Wildlife Trust are involved in various sections of the Trail and we hope that your group/organisation would like to join us, either in helping to plan the route itself or to contribute information on interesting features along it. The Trail route starts in Peterborough in the north west of the county and finishes on the border with Suffolk in the east.
