The
Fen Rivers Way,
a long distance path running for nearly 80kms (50 miles) between
the historic settlements of Cambridge and King's Lynn, traces the
course of rivers that drain slowly across the Fens into the
Wash.
The route takes you through the distinctive Fens landscape on a
path rich in history and wildlife.
Taking in the internationally significant environment of the
Ouse
Washes, the journey follows the River Great Ouse through the
dramatic open skyscapes and past the massive floodbanks that
protect the low lying Fens. Taking in the historic city of Ely, and
the Cam Washes, the route finishes in Cambridge.
At King's Lynn, the Fen Rivers Way connects with the Wash Coast
Path (through the
Peter Scott Walk) taking walkers along the
remote coast marshes into Lincolnshire, or the
Nar
Valley Way which leads you into the heart of Norfolk.
