The Fen Rivers Way is a long distance footpath that spans a distance of 50 miles (80 kilometres). The path runs between the City of Cambridge and the town of King's Lynn in West Norfolk. It follows the course of many rivers that drain slowly across the fenland landscape into the Wash. It provides a small part of European Long Distance Path E2 which goes from Nice to Galway.
