Accessibility
The main path into the reserve is fairly flat and even. Many paths become marshy in winter or after very wet weather. Other than the ramp into the reserve, the main path should be accessible for wheelchairs, and other paths accessible in summer, however there are steep steps into the hides.
Location
Woodwalton Fen is close to the village of Ramsey Heights in Cambridgeshire.
At the corner where Ugg Mere Close Road meets Longholme Road (look for the 'Free Range Eggs' sign), take Chapel Road westwards (it becomes a track) until you can go no further, turn right on the cinder track and park.
