The approximately one acre of level grassland was opened in 2007. With mature, thick hedges on the west and south sides, giving shelter from the prevailing winds and willows to the East there is plenty of cover for the 25 varieties of birds, at least, on site. Electric hook-ups and toilet/showers are available on site.

Route directions

From Lakenheath, take the turning signposted 'Sedge Fen', near the former Half Moon Pub (in the high street). Follow the signs to the Sedge Fen Baptist Church. At the corner near the church, turn right so that you pass the church on your left. Follow the single-track road round a sharp left hand bend (about half a mile) to The Paddock. The entrance to the site is straight in front of you. If travelling from the A1101 Littleport/Mildenhall road, follow signs to Sedge Fen Baptist Church - the turning is one mile south of Shippea Hill railway station.
