Woodlands, meadows, lakes, the River Nene and miles of paths and trails make Nene Park a lovely place to walk.
Most of the paths in the central area of Ferry Meadows and at Orton Mere, Thorpe Meadows and Woodston Reach are surfaced and suitable for wheelchairs and pushchairs. The Ferry Meadows leaflet shows a choice of walking routes of various lengths.
In the Visitor Centre you’ll find handy pocket sized OS maps showing paths in and around the whole of Nene Park for those wanting to explore further afield. The maps are water-resistant and are priced at £2.99.
As well as the main paths, there are lots of different walks to discover around the Park:
