The Fens & Anglian Waterways
Uncrowded rivers flow through over 500 kilometres (293 miles) of the eastern counties countryside, providing some of the most unspoilt water environments in Britain.
From the Humber in the north, through the Fenland landscape, to Essex in the south, this region's rivers offer excellent opportunity for coarse fishing and some of the best bird watching in Britain.
