The Letch Fen is some drained land near Widdrington village, and I remember a famous dog from the area, known as “The Widdrington Train” because it was said to hit the hares and roe “like a train” ! Cheers. I have a walk around there now and then, the reclaimed land where that huge mining bucket is, I like it when the wind blows sounds like pan pipes it's an atmospheric place Quote Link to post
