This area of fertile fenland was once a large freshwater lake which was drained in the 1800s, see LinkExternal link (Archive LinkExternal link )
A bit ironic really that it is so well drained by the dikes and modern pumping stations that water now has to be pumped back onto it to improve crop yields
