Outwell

   The fen village of Outwell is really a twin to Upwell, they are joined and are more like one very large parish. Like Upwell, Outwell has a good selection of shops and other amenities.

   Well Creek runs through the middle of the village as it does in Upwell and there too you can sit and watch the leisure boats in the summer months. In Outwell standing close to the old tram depot office is a specially crafted memento to commemorate that famous tram that ran through both Upwell and Outwell.

   The 13th-century parish church of Saint Clement like its fellow church in Upwell has angels carved into the roof timbers and also boasts some stunning medieval stained glass windows. While walking around the church I found some interesting grinning gargoyles.

   The village has a number of Flemish design bridges that cross the Well Creek canal that follows alongside the main road, the expansion of the village dates from the time of the draining of the fens by Dutch engineers. All in all a very laid back relaxing village with plenty of stopping places for those who wish to visit.
