Location - Wicken
Wicken is a picturesque, rural village on the edge of the Fens in East Cambridgeshire, 10 miles north east of Cambridge, and 5 miles south of the cathedral city of Ely. 

The village is home to the internationally renowned National Trust Wicken Fen, one of Britain’s oldest nature reserves. This biodiversity hotspot is located a short distance from the village centre and is rich with wildlife, offering trails, boardwalks and bird-watching facilities.

The village hall regularly offers open events, and regular Sunday teas are held in the church, chapel, and hall. There is a traditional 13th-century thatched public house, The Maid’s Head, serving food on the village green and hosting regular exciting events and activities. There is also the rare example of a fully operational smock windmill dating from 1813, which still grinds flour and is open to the public to explore on the first Saturday of each month.

Wicken benefits from a wide range of clubs and societies, including a baby and toddler playgroup, a local brass band, an amateur football club, and a flower and produce show committee with classes for children. 

The village’s proximity to Soham, Newmarket and Ely means residents can access many other amenities, including the train stations offering regular services to Cambridge, London Kings Cross and Ipswich. The A11 and A14 are also easily accessible and provide access to Cambridge and Bury St Edmunds in less than 30 minutes.

If you’re looking to purchase in the area, we highly recommend giving this lovely village a visit!

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
