Drain on Holbeach Marsh. One of the network of drains across the Fens. These deep ditches take the place of hedged, leading to a vast open flat landscape.
Farmland and drain near Holbeach Bank. The low lying Lincolnshire Fens are criss-crossed by a network of drains. Every road, lane and track will most likely have a drain of some sort alongside it. The first houses of the substantial village of Holbeach Bank can be seen here.
