St. Peter's stands as a captivating ruin alongside the tranquil banks of the River Great Ouse. While its walls continue to stand tall, the roof and windows have long vanished. This church, constructed in the 15th century, gradually fell into disrepair at the dawn of the 20th century. In an unfortunate turn of events, in 2013, it was struck by lightning, further adding to its historical narrative.

Before the forest you see today, Shouldham Warren was farmed as a rabbit warren, dating from at least the 17th century. The rabbits were bred for both their meat and fur. The landscape here makes for an interesting hike as it's where the fens and the brecks meet. Enjoy expansive views over the Nar Valley and the shade of the pine forests. Colours here are particularly good in the autumn.
