Ramsey grew up around its abbey on an island in the fen. Today the roads in are long and narrow: the B1040 north to Pondersbridge and Whittlesey, the B1096 south to Warboys and the A141, and the lanes east to Ramsey Forty Foot and Ramsey St Mary’s. The Forty Foot Drain runs right beside the road for miles.
24 hour car recovery in Ramsey
- Cars that have slid off a fen road into a verge or a drain, especially at night and in frost.
- Breakdowns on the B1040 and the road along the Forty Foot, where there is nowhere to pull in.
- Cars that won’t start in Ramsey, Warboys and Bury.
- Breakdowns on the A141 between Warboys and Chatteris.
Fen roads are hard to describe. A WhatsApp location pin or a what3words address saves a lot of time. If the car is in water, get out and call 999 first.

FAQ
Straight answers
My car is in a ditch near Ramsey. Can you get it out?
Yes, with a winch. If anyone is hurt or the car is in water, call 999 first. Then send us a photo and your location.
Do you cover Ramsey Forty Foot and Ramsey St Mary’s?
Yes. We cover all of the Ramsey villages and the fen roads between them. Send a location pin if you can, as the roads along the drains are hard to describe.
Is it safe to wait in my car on a fen road?
Usually not. If you are on a narrow road with traffic, get out on the side away from the road and wait well away from the car, with a torch or phone light on. If the car is near water, stay out of it.
