These seasonally flooded grazing grounds are divided by an arm of the River Cam, with Sheep's Green to the west and Coe Fen to the east, and Sheep's Green is bounded on its west side by another arm of the river. There are waterfowl such as egrets, kingfishers and herons, and water voles are increasing in numbers. There are a number of mature willow trees.[3]

There is access from The Fen Causeway, which crosses both parts of the reserve.
