One of the closest to Cambridge that remains, Wilbraham Fen is a
nice example of how fens used to be before they were drained for
agricultural use. Marshy, with rough grassland and the odd coppice
of trees on raised land, the landscape is mostly unspoilt and very
pleasant to walk through.
Since it's a fenland area, the terrain is very flat, and several
much longer walks can be had across the area, some detailed
here.
The easiest route to the cache follows the latter part of that
walk. The cache is 0.5 miles from the suggested parking as the GPS
flies, and 0.6 miles as it walks.
A map of the area, with the cache roughly arrowed is available
from Streetmap. If you walk down from the A1303, the land to
your right is Teversham Fen, mostly drained and used for farming
now, while Wilbraham Fen is to your left. You walk along Quy Water,
into which flows the Little Wilbraham River.
This is a nice easy traditional cache. The container is a medium
click-lock tub with a bit of room in it. The terrain is
well-trodden footpath, but can get muddy and slippy when wet. Since
it's next to a small river, I'd advise caution with children in
tow. The difficulty is no more than a 1.5 for able-bodied
adults.
Happy caching!
