The Sights, Sounds and Delights of Somersham Local Nature Reserve

A lovely Sunday Morning stroll and a "Trangia Moment" at Somersham Local Nature Reserve. A very beautiful place, full of friendly people... Somersham Local Nature Reserve (LNR) is a wonderful example of how nature reclaims places if left alone. This is part of the railway line from Cambridge to March, built in 1848 for the transport of coal and agricultural produce before closing in 1967. The white gates at the Station Approach entrance are a reminder of the old level crossing that one stood here as well as a bridge across the Chatteris Road. The old station buildings were transferred brick by brick to the William McAlpine Estate in Oxfordshire. The nature reserve, is home to a wide variety plenty of wildlife and includes areas of woodland, grassland and wildflower meadows, a lake and wet woodland.
