Our nearest National Trust place is Wicken Fen, a gorgeous nature reserve full of wildlife and clear waters reflecting the big skies synonymous with the fens. There have been a couple of Saturdays now where we’ve headed straight there, put baby boy in the carrier and gone for a brisk walk, either in the nature reserve where you can stroll along the boardwalk or in the surrounding countryside which stretches out for miles and is very pretty. Either way, we always finish off in the National Trust café where they do excellent pasties. Our weeks can feel pretty relentless at the moment and sometimes like we’re moving around each other as we deal with the demands of our mini human so this is a small joy that we’re really appreciating; getting out the house at the start of the weekend and debriefing the week whilst getting a fresh air fix. And you gotta love a National Trust café!
Weekend Walks Around Wicken Fen
20 Mar 2022
As if turning thirty and having a baby wasn’t making me feel ‘adult’ enough, for Christmas, my parents generously bought us a year’s membership to the National Trust. And, well, it turns out there’s a reason lots of people with children do this. Because often you get to the weekend, look at your baby and think how the heck are we going to fill the day?!
