Cathy's Say

These smartly furnished Lincolnshire cottages are just a few miles from the Wash, the biggest bay in England running from just south of Skegness to Hunstanton. This is one of the most outstanding coastal wetlands in Europe with its bleak, yet beautiful landscape of salt marshes, mudflats and open water. The intertidal mudflats and salt marshes are one of Britain's most important winter feeding areas for waders and wildfowl. Large numbers of migrant birds such as grey plovers, dunlins, oystercatchers and godwits arrive in the autumn to feed on the rich supplies of foods found in the sands and mudflats. The best time to see large flocks of waders is on a rising tide between September and early May. The area is also a breeding ground for Atlantic grey seals. The Fens are an area unique area in Britain, an ideal destination for a holiday or short break, criss-crossed with peaceful waterways, dotted with church spires and clusters of villages.
