Fulbourn Fen is a 27.3 hectare biological Site of Special Scientific Interest east of Fulbourn in Cambridgeshire. It is privately owned and managed by the Wildlife Trust for Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Northamptonshire.
There are ancient meadows on calcareous loam and peat which have never been farmed, so they have a rich diversity of flora and fauna. Herbs in drier areas include cowslip and salad burnet, while wetter areas have tall fen vegetation.
There is access by a track from Stonebridge Lane.
