Walkers cannot fail to be impressed by the Fenlands vast open landscape and vast skies that give the Fens their unique character. The walk along this footpath is rich in both history and wildlife. The Fen Rivers Way is ideal for a two-day trip, with camp sites or bed and breakfast stays en route. Also, there is excellent public transport for the return journey.
