Welcome to Great Green

Great Green is a small village located in the county of Cambridgeshire, England. The village is situated in the heart of the Fens, an area of low-lying land that was once covered by marshes and swamps. Great Green is surrounded by vast fields of crops, and the landscape is dotted with wind turbines that generate renewable energy. The village is home to a small community of residents who enjoy a peaceful and rural way of life.

One of the most notable features of Great Green is its proximity to the River Great Ouse. The river is a major waterway that flows through the heart of Cambridgeshire and is an important source of water for the surrounding farmland. The river is also a popular destination for boating and fishing enthusiasts, who can enjoy the tranquil waters and scenic views. Great Green is also located near several nature reserves, including the Wicken Fen National Nature Reserve, which is home to a diverse range of wildlife and plant species.

Despite its small size, Great Green has a rich history that dates back to the medieval period. The village was once a thriving agricultural community, and many of the buildings in the village date back to this time. Today, Great Green is a peaceful and picturesque village that offers a glimpse into the rural way of life in Cambridgeshire. Whether you are looking for a quiet retreat or an opportunity to explore the natural beauty of the Fens, Great Green is a wonderful place to visit.

Local Dog Walks

Fen Drayton Lakes
Beautiful Rspb Nature Reserve. There Are Places Where Dogs Can Swim Or Paddle In The Lakes And There Are Several Walks That You Can Take. Lovely In All Seasons. Fen Drayton Lakes Busway Ncn51 6.62 miles Fen Drayton Lakes Can Be Reached Off The A14 Near Swavesy, Or Driving Through Fen Drayton Itself. The Road To The Car Park Is Quite Long, There Are Several Road Humps And There Are Plenty Of Potholes To Watch Out For But It'S Worth It!

Lovely Walk Around The Lakes And River Ouse. Path In One Place Runs Next To Working Quarry, But Other Than That Dogs Off Lead. I Recommend The River Trail. 2 Kingfisher Cl Little Paxton 7.99 miles Park At The Visitors Centre For Free, But It’S Not Huge. Was Filled Up By The Time I Finished Our Walk.

Location what3words tabs.adjuster.risking

Chivers Lake
Nice Walk Around Lake, No On Lead Areas But Do Need To Be Careful Along Guided Busway Side As Fencing Is Poor. Not A Problem If Your Dog Has Good Recall. It's Perfect During Summer As It's Safe For Dogs To Swim. There Is A Large Field Next To The Holiday Inn Hotel Which You Can Get To From The Lake. Perfect For A Ball Game Or Game Of Chase With Other Dogs. My Dog Loves It There. Downside, People Do Not Always Clear Up Their Litter Which Is A Real Shame. 32 A14 Impington 8.02 miles
