Moorings on the River Great Ouse

The River Great Ouse is the principal river of the East of England, flowing 150 navigable kilometres from Bedford northward through Ely and Downham Market to its tidal outfall at King's Lynn on the Wash. Along with its tributaries — the Cam (connecting to Cambridge), the Wissey, and the Little Ouse — it forms the central artery of the Fenland waterway system. The river passes through some of the most distinctive landscapes in England: the flat, fertile fenland fields below Ely, with the cathedral rising dramatically from the skyline, and the tidal reaches below Denver Sluice where the river becomes a working tidal channel. Long-stay moorings are available at marinas in Bedford, St Ives, Ely, and Littleport, with the Middle Level navigations to the south providing access to the northern Broads network.
