Perhaps one of the most mysterious spots in a County blessed
with them; this is an intriguing woodland of large alder trees,
ditches and a pond. Follow the boardwalk round the wood in to the
large open area of fen and you almost step out of time.
The perfect place to soak up some of the sense of ancient,
unspoilt mystery so characteristic of the Suffolk countryside.
Sitting in the heart of the Gipping Valley, Fen Alder Carr was
declared a Local Nature Reserve in 1982, and is managed for people
and wildlife.
