Ring's End is an 11 hectare Local Nature Reserve which runs south from the hamlet of Ring's End towards March in Cambridgeshire. It is owned by Cambridgeshire County Council,[1][2] and managed by the Friends of Ring's End Nature Reserve Group. Ring's End is known as a 'post-industrial habitat' since it is reclaimed industrial land.[3]
This is a linear site along a disused railway embankment, with views over the Fens. There are also three ponds, reedbeds and areas of scrub.[1] The soil is poor in nutrients, which has allowed uncommon flowering plants such as coltsfoot to become established. Trees include ash and white willow.[4]
The southern end of the site can be accessed from Twenty Foot Road, and National Cycle Route 63 runs through it. There is no access to the northern end.[1]
