Ouse Washes
Building a website for a great day out
Promoting a site.
In the heart of the Cambridgeshire and Norfolk Fens, the Ouse Washes Landscape Partnership scheme is supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund. All about land and location, it focuses on the distinctively rural, open and tranquil landscape surrounding the Ouse Washes and its unique heritage. Speed was brought in by Cambridgeshire ACRE who were keen to source a local agency with national clout.
Building a site.
Speed set about creating a destination hub for anyone wanting to make the most of the archaeology, history, biodiversity and heritage of Ouse Wash area – encouraging visitors to discover, explore and get involved.
Inspiring a visit.
The modular website works hard in its technical detail, providing events and calendars. There’s a map to track and build your day out, whether you’re interested in prehistoric remains, social history, wetlands insects or birdwatching. The site has been a success and Speed has worked with Cambridgeshire ACRE on another inspiring project, rebranding and promoting a town, where encouraging local engagement and increasing tourist visits were the goals.
