Narrow boats at Whittlesey, near Peterborough, Cambridgeshire - The "Middle Level" Nene - Ouse

---

The "Middle Level" Nene - Ouse Navigation Link, which passes through Whittlesey, offers a picturesque and interesting insight into the region known as the Fens. The link travels from Stanground lock near the cathedral city of Peterborough, to a lock at the small village of Salters Lode, near to the Denver Sluice complex. The link is miles long. At Denver the waterway links to the River Great Ouse along which it is possible to cruise to Ely, Bedford and Cambridge. At the Stanground end the link joins with the River Nene which in turn eventually links with the Grand Union Canal. The waterway flows through a number of attractive Fenland towns and villages which offer both visual and historical interests. It is ideal for quiet boating holidays with its distinctive scenery and abundant wildlife.
