About

Coates, Benwick, and Pondersbridge are villages situated within the low-lying Fenland landscape, defined by expansive agricultural fields and drainage channels. The area is characterised by its straight roads and isolated settlements, with the Old River Nene and the Forty Foot Drain forming key waterways through the parishes. The flat terrain and big skies create a distinct sense of openness.

Life here is closely connected to land drainage and farming. The presence of pumping stations and sluices, such as those at Pondersbridge, underscores the ongoing management of water levels. A specific landmark is the functional, manually operated swing bridge over the Forty Foot Drain at Benwick, a reminder of the area's practical infrastructure shaped by its environment.
