The Fens

England

The Fens connects to 7525 places across 16 topics through 86 Bunkabop connections, with nature and history forming the dominant threads. A low-lying region of eastern England, it was tidal marshland before 17th-century drainage transformed the landscape. Its strongest ties are with London, England and Cambridge, England, which shares a museum presenting Cambridgeshire and Fens life from 1700 onwards. Literature figures in through novelist Daisy Johnson, who drew on memories of growing up in the fens in her fiction.
