Burnt Fen is an area of low‑lying land crossed by the A1101 road between Littleport in Cambridgeshire and Mildenhall in Suffolk, England. It is surrounded on three sides by rivers, and consists of prime agricultural land, with sparse settlement. The locality is dependent on pumped drainage to prevent it from flooding. It lies between the towns of Bury St Edmunds, Thetford, Mildenhall, Downham Market and the city of Ely. The area is close to the adjoining county of Norfolk. The setting is rural, with farmland and riverine features dominating the landscape. The A1101 road provides a direct route through the area, linking it to neighbouring towns and villages. The low‑lying nature of the land means that flood management is a key consideration for residents and developers alike. The proximity to Bury St. Edmunds and other market towns offers access to local services while maintaining a quiet, countryside atmosphere.
