Shaped by human ingenuity and home to a rich variety of nature, the serene and stunning landscapes of the Fenland waterways are more remote than most of the rest of the country's network of navigable inland waters.
In this lies their beauty and much of their attraction. However, they also have sufficient access to facilities.
Readers will find a wealth of information about moorings, facilities and services, as well as features of interest to canoeists, paddleboarders, walkers and other users of the waterways. It includes detailed mapping for each section of the rivers as well as overview plans.
Imray's popular inland waterways guides are being revised with experienced boat-owners and navigators from the Inland Waterways Association. With a completely new design and maps that have been rescaled and reoriented to make them more user-friendly, this new Fenland Waterways guide has been written by Chris Howes, Deputy National Chairman, Eastern Region Chairman and Peterborough Branch Chairman of the IWA. Chris is a knowledgeable enthusiast for the area and his navigation notes are enriched with narrative and photographs, highlighting numerous points of interest.
"CHRIS HOWES is the IWA representative for the Eastern Region and has represented IWA at almost every level from branch chairman to trustee. He is also a member of the Middle Level Navigation Committee. Chris has halcyon memories of growing up at his grandparent’s watermill in Oxfordshire on the river Windrush. He has spent most of his life near, and sometimes unintentionally in, water, a canoeist, rower, and outdoor skater, he is the proud owner of narrowboat ‘Lily May’. “I travel widely across the system and most seasons manage getting on for 1,000 locks !” Chris explained “however the fast flowing clear rivers of the East of England will always remain my home waters”. Chris is a writer and photographer and is the author of the Imray guides “Fenland Waters” and “The Great Ouse and its Tributaries”, which he proudly describes as “boaters guides written for boaters, by a boater”. Chris regularly provides on-line updates to these guides as well as blogging regularly for Fox Narrowboats. Chris is always pleased to learn of anything new, or any changes planned for the Eastern Region."
