Park Accessibility

We welcome all visitors to Nene Park and our team will do all they can to ensure that you enjoy your visit. The Trust works with a range of organisations and individuals including our own Nene Park Access Forum to improve and promote access for all at the Park. For more information on Nene Park Trust's commitment to accessibility please see our Access Policy.

The information here provides an overview of the accessibility at Ferry Meadows, Thorpe Meadows, Orton Mere and Woodston Reach.

If you have any questions or feedback about access or the Park’s facilities, contact us and the team will be happy to help. Staff in the Visitor Centre or Nene Outdoors at Ferry Meadows can also answer queries and update visitors about conditions on a given day.
