The Fenland Waterways Guide – Chris Howes (Imray)

Published in 2024, this seventh edition of the Imray guide for users of the Fenland waterways covers the Middle Levels and Old and New Bedford rivers.

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 IWA. 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 the late Chris Howes, former IWA Eastern Region Chairman and IWA Peterborough Branch Chairman. Chris was a knowledgeable enthusiast for the area and his navigation notes are enriched with narrative and photographs, highlighting numerous points of interest.

Waterways Covered:

• The navigable Middle Level Navigations
• The Old Bedford River
• The New Bedford River (Hundred Foot Drain)
