Wicken Cambridgeshire Map

About Wicken

Wicken, a place touched by the Fenlands' quiet breadth, offers a tranquil aspect of East Cambridgeshire. It lies 3.3 km south-west of Soham (from Soham: bearing 228°T, OS grid TL 570 707). The village, a cluster of homes around a modest centre, breathes the air of ancient fields, where the flatness of the land allows the sky to feel particularly vast and luminous. Its history is tied to the careful reclamation of the surrounding marsh, a patient endeavour that shaped the very character of this corner of England. The parish church, St. Lawrence, stands as a quiet sentinel, its stone weathered by generations of sun and rain, a humble anchor in the open landscape. Here, the gentle rise and fall of the terrain, barely perceptible to the eye, speaks of the slow work of water and earth.
