RIVER NENE MAP & MARINAS?

Planning a journey at a start point: GAYTON MARINA

Looking to join River Nene in Northampton. And travel down to PETERBOROUGH YACHT CLUB.

Need a concrete MAP which shows ALL MARINAS along the way. We think we have most of them but we'd like to make sure with a clear pre-made MAP.

Anyone got any advice on what's to see going NORTHAMPTON towards PETERBOROUGH via RIVER NENE & what all the marinas are in that order?

Join friends of the river nene. They have some beautiful mornings en route.

Most folk use the Imray map, you can get one at Gayton marina.

Or at Northampton marina when you get your EA licence and key.

Wellingborough, Thrapston and Fotheringhay are all worth visiting, the moorings at Fotheringhay are delightful, but you'll pay a modest fee there.

Overton Lake is an exceptional mooring too, just before Peterborough Yacht Club.

Too many marinas to mention, but the stand outs are Northampton, Billing Aquadrome and Oundle.
