The safety of the public visiting the reserve is of paramount importance and we constantly review both the safety of the public and animals. The public are welcome to walk and ride in areas where the animals are grazing however we do request that visitors refrain from feeding or petting the animals. If the animals are blocking your path, please feel free to leave the path to move around them. A informative leaflet, Ambling with Animals containing tips and advice when walking in grazed areas is available from the Wicken Fen Visitor Centre or by calling 01353 720274.
