Welcome to Old Nene

Old Nene is a river that flows through the county of Cambridgeshire in England. It is a tributary of the River Great Ouse and is approximately 35 miles long. The river is known for its scenic beauty and is a popular spot for fishing and boating. The Old Nene is also home to a variety of wildlife, including otters, kingfishers, and herons.

The Old Nene has a rich history, dating back to the Roman era. The river was an important trade route during the Middle Ages, with goods such as wool, grain, and timber being transported along its waters. In the 19th century, the river was used to transport coal and other goods to the nearby towns and cities. Today, the Old Nene is a popular destination for tourists and locals alike, with many walking and cycling routes along its banks.

The Old Nene is also home to several historic landmarks, including the St. Wendreda's Church in March, which dates back to the 13th century. The river is also home to several old bridges, including the Town Bridge in March, which was built in the 17th century. The Old Nene is a beautiful and historic river that is an important part of Cambridgeshire's heritage.
