Walpole Marsh stretches across the flat, heavy silt of the Fens where the horizon commands a vast, uninterrupted authority over the earth. It lies 4.5 miles south-east of Long Sutton (from Long Sutton: bearing 141°T, OS grid TF 479 174), and is situated east of Foul Anchor village. The sky here possesses a pale, washed-out clarity that seems to sharpen the edges of the distant, brooding reeds found at East Marsh. Drainage channels cut geometric lines through the fields, their dark water reflecting the slow passage of clouds that drift inland from the Wash. A quiet industry defines the landscape, where the seasonal rhythm of the harvest dictates the weight of the traffic on the narrow, salt-stained lanes. To the north-east, the low-lying expanse of New Marsh serves as a reminder of the constant, reclaimed struggle between the tides and the arable soil. Walpole Marsh holds a sparse, utilitarian beauty, defined more by the quality of its light than by the architecture of its modest dwellings. The isolation of the terrain ensures that the silence remains undisturbed, save for the sudden, sharp cry of a lapwing circling the dykes.
