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.

Famous quotes containing the words fen and/or rivers:
“Feather-footed through the plashy fen passes the questing vole.”
—Evelyn Waugh (1903–1966)
“Melancholy is at the bottom of everything, just as at the end of all rivers is the sea. Can it be otherwise in a world where nothing lasts, where all that we have loved or shall love must die? Is death, then, the secret of life? The gloom of an eternal mourning enwraps, more or less closely, every serious and thoughtful soul, as night enwraps the universe.”
—Henri-Frédéric Amiel (1821–1881)
