Lakeside Café, Ferry Meadows

Highlight • Cafe

Handy stop-off if you’re taking the route past the lakes.

Tip by

3.84 km

Part of Nene Park, Ferry Meadows is a hive of activity and relaxation. Gunwade Lake, Overton and Lynch Lake make for a beautiful setting for a run, not far from the centre of Peterborough. There is a cafe, bus stops and car parking so it also makes for a good start/end point for a run along the River Nene.

Ferry Meadows Miniature Railway

Highlight • Structure

Ferry Meadows Railway has been here since the park opened to the public in 1978.

The track is laid to a 10.1/4″ inch gauge, it is a very popular gauge for miniature railways as it gives a stable and comfortable ride to the passengers.

Bridge Over the Lake

Highlight • Bridge

River Nene

Highlight • River

Very nice area for walking, cycling and all sorts of outdoor activities, but it might get flooded in the winter and sometimes spring as well so check the water levels, I would avoid it when 2.00 or more.
