'''The Fens''' is a geographical area of eastern England. It mostly consists of areas of the counties [[Cambridgeshire]], [[Lincolnshire]] (broadly the [[Parts of Holland]]) and [[Norfolk]], with some peripheral areas being in [[Huntingdonshire]], [[Northamptonshire]] and [[Suffolk]]. A "fen" is a mainly eastern English dialect word for a marshland. Consisting of the area immediately inland of [[the Wash]], The Fens are a naturally marshy region, which were largely drained starting in the 17th century with the intention to use the land for agriculture. A small number of fens in the region remain undrained, with the largest being Wicken Fen in Cambridgeshire.
