About the event

Rothschild Bungalow Open Day - Heritage Open Days
Celebrate Woodwalton Fen NNR with our Heritage Open Day - visit the historic Rothschild Bungalow and explore this beautiful reserve.

Heritage Open Days is England's largest community-led festival of history and culture. It’s your chance to see hidden places and try out new experiences – and it’s FREE. Come and explore Woodwalton Fen NNR and enjoy the opportunity to go inside the historic Rothschild Bungalow. Pick up a trail leaflet and get to know the heritage and wildlife of this incredible site.

Built in 1911 as a base for research and summer retreats, this captivating building gives a glimpse into the past pursuits of the founder of the Wildlife Trusts and wildlife conservation as we know it. Join us for privileged access to a building not usually open to the public and discover how Charles Rothschild would have used it as a base for his field trips, studying moths and other insects. There will be staff and volunteers to talk to you about the history of the area and the plans for the future of the Great Fen.

Optional guided walks to learn more about the site and wildlife with a member of the Great Fen team are also available to book at 11am or 1.30pm. These are estimated to last approximately 1 hour. Suitable for families. Additional cost applies. Children under 12 can attend for free. Pre-booking required.

Parking:
To access Woodwalton Fen, please drive all the way to the very end of Chapel Road, PE26 2RS, past the entrance to the Countryside Centre at Ramsey Heights nature reserve. The What3Words location for parking is https://what3words.com/represent.teaching.tradition.

Attendees should park at the far end of Chapel Road on the field-side bank of the Great Raveley Drain. Walk over the entrance bridge and along the path ahead of you for approximately 1/4mile until you see the Bungalow on your right.

Alternatively, please park at the Ramsey Heights nature reserve further up Chapel Road and make the 15 minutes walk to Woodwalton Fen.

Your comfort:
Please note, the closest toilets are located at the Ramsey Heights Countryside Centre, half a mile before you reach Woodwalton Fen. Please also be aware that there are ticks and other biting insects at Woodwalton Fen, so long trousers tucked into socks and closed-toe footwear is recommended. An insect repellent is also useful.

Refreshments available for a donation.
