Coe Fen

Coe Fen is a semi-rural meadowland area to the east of the River Cam in the south of the city of Cambridge, England.

[1] It lies at the back of Peterhouse (one of the University of Cambridge colleges) to the north, the Fitzwilliam Museum, and The Leys School to the south.

Coe Fen and Sheep's Green form a natural area that was once important for the commercial activity of Cambridge.

Hodson’s Folly is a small stone shelter in the classical style near the bridge between Sheep’s Green and Coe Fen.

[5] In 2013 Cambridge Past Present and Future is working with local people to restore and improve the Hodson's Folly, its boathouse and secret garden.
