The villages of Coates and Eastrea sit on the flat, low-lying farmland of the Fenland district in Cambridgeshire, England, close to the River Nene and the seasonal floodplain of the Nene Washes. Their setting on drained peat and silt soils makes the area intensively arable - cereals, vegetables and root crops dominate - while many residents commute to nearby centres such as Whittlesey and Peterborough for work.
Historically the settlements reflect the wider story of fen drainage and reclamation from the medieval period and later 17th-century engineering, and you can still see the pattern of dykes, sluices and straight channels in the landscape. Locally there is a strong village community feel with halls, clubs and annual fetes, and the proximity of the Nene Washes gives extra interest for birdwatchers and anyone curious about the unique ecology and flood-management heritage of the Fens.
