The Cage
The picturesque village of Parson Drove is situated approximately 5 miles to the west of the historic town of Wisbech. A large fenland town with a river port, it is known as The Capital of The Fens and is in the district of Fenland under the umbrella of Fenland District Council (opens in new tab), which in turn is in the county of Cambridgeshire – Cambridgeshire County Council (opens in new tab)

Parson Drove is one of the few villages in Cambridgeshire to have a village green and together with the open countryside is perfect for a quiet stroll or picnic. The countryside exhibits examples of the considerable drainage system which enables this area to achieve its full agricultural potential. This fenland drainage system also provides for excellent coarse fishing and is utilised by clubs from far and wide
