How to find us
By car: The Countryside Classroom is accessed from Chapel Road at the southern end of Ramsey Heights, near Upwood. From Ramsey, take the B1040 towards Whittlesey. After 2.5 miles, where B1040 turns sharply right to Ramsey St. Mary’s, take a sharp left toward Ramsey Heights. The Countryside Classroom is signposted on right after 1.5 miles. Turn right onto Chapel Road and follow this narrow road to the reserve, about 0.5 mile down the road on the right. Go through the gate to the grassy meadow car park then walk up the track by the information board to the classroom building. From the A141 near Wyton, turn off for Broughton. Go through Little Raveley and Great Raveley. In Upwood, turn left for Ramsey Heights. Watch for the brown Woodwalton Fen NNR and Countryside Classroom sign and turn left. Follow the directions as above.
By bicycle: The roads around Ramsey are fairly flat, making it ideal cycling territory. Cyclists may wish to avoid the long incline from Ramsey Heights to Upwood and the steep hills out of Bury towards Warboys, including Shillow Hill.
By public transport: Buses between Peterborough and Ramsey pass through Ramsey Heights village.
