We are very proud of our bird life in the area. Fowlmere Bird Reserve is tranquil and full of birdlife. Lovely for a stroll along its pathways and sneak peaks at the birds from their customised bird watching stations.

A must see for all air travel or military enthusiasts. There is even a concord in one of the hangars! The air museum has regular air shows during the year. Even the Red Arrows fly over our garden sometimes.
