The Twenty Foot River is a waterway located in the county of Cambridgeshire, England. It is a man-made channel that was constructed in the 17th century to drain the fens and marshes in the area. The river is approximately 20 miles long and runs from the town of March to the River Nene at the village of Outwell. The river is an important part of the local ecosystem and provides a habitat for a variety of wildlife, including otters, water voles, and kingfishers.
The river is also a popular destination for anglers, who come to fish for species such as pike, perch, and roach. The river is known for its clear water and abundant fish populations, making it a great place for both experienced and novice anglers. In addition to fishing, the river is also used for boating and canoeing, with several companies offering guided tours and equipment rentals.
Despite its importance to the local community, the Twenty Foot River has faced several challenges in recent years. Pollution from agricultural runoff and other sources has threatened the health of the river, and efforts are underway to improve water quality and protect the local ecosystem. Despite these challenges, the river remains an important part of the local landscape and a valuable resource for the people of Cambridgeshire.
