Crowland

It is hard to imagine that this whole area was once entirely wetland and marshland, dotted with inhospitable islands. Crowland was one such island, then known as Croyland; back in the 7th century, a small church and hermitage was established, which was later to become one of the nation's most important monasteries. The town's impressive parish church was just part of the great edifice thatonce stood on the site. A wonderful exhibition can be found in the Abbey at Crowland, open all year round. The remains cover a third of the Abbey's original extent.

Crowland's second gem is the unique Trinity Bridge - set in the centre of town on dry land. Erected in the 14th century, it has three arches built over one over-arching structure. Before the draining of the Fens, Trinity Bridge crossed the point where the River Welland divided into two streams.
