Wicken Fen National Nature Reserve

The National Trust's oldest nature reserve, and England's most famous fen.

Whether you're a local dog walker who comes for a wander every day, or you're visiting from further afield, we welcome responsible owners and their dogs under close control in the wider nature reserve. To help us ensure our visitors, dogs and wildlife get along together, there are a few do’s and don’ts to take note of if you’re bringing your dog with you.

There are miles of paths to explore with your dog around Baker's, Adventurers' and Burwell Fens, as well as beyond. See our map or speak to a member of our friendly visitor welcome team for more information about these wider reserve paths.

Dogs on a short lead are welcome inside the Visitor Centre and shop, as well as the Docky Hut Café when you're choosing and ordering your food. Please use one of our picnic benches outside if eating with your dog. (Inside seating may also be available in the Visitor Centre for enjoying your café food with your dog.)
