Discover this place

A long-distance walking route following the Cam and Great Ouse through Ely and the open Fens towards King’s Lynn.

Following the Cam and Great Ouse, the route links the city of Cambridge with Ely, the Fens and King’s Lynn. Riverside paths reveal changing landscapes, from urban and village edges to long, open reaches where water dominates the view. A section walk can be just as rewarding as the complete route, especially around Ely and its riverfront. Check the current route and access details before setting out, since waterside paths can be affected by weather, flooding and local works.
