Things To Do
Kayaking and canoeing tour

The River Nene that runs through the centre of the historical Cathedral City of Peterborough is both picturesque and a joy to navigate with over 6 miles of uninterrupted and calm river voyaging.  Which is full of magnificent and diverse wild habitats including kingfishers, herons, otters, swans, grass snakes and many varieties of fish including eels, pike and carp.    So keep your eyes peeled and let us know if you spot anything while you are on the water, we are always keen to know!
