Baston Fen is a long tract of permanent pasture that floods in winter, attracting wildfowl and changing character with the seasons.

Baston Fen is a long tract of permanent pasture that floods in winter, attracting wildfowl and creating a landscape that changes dramatically with the seasons. Wet grassland, ditches and the surrounding fenland setting support a range of wildlife. It is a quieter nature visit for those who enjoy observing open country rather than seeking a large visitor centre. Take care around sensitive habitats and check the Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust’s current guidance for access, grazing animals and conditions before setting out.
