No New Posts Little Ouse

The River Little Ouse is currently navigable from its confluence with the Great Ouse at Brandon Creek to Brandon Bridge. Brandon Lock, constructed in 1995 at just 45 feet in length prevents longer boats passing through to the town bridge. Smaller craft can continue another 3 km to Santon Downham where there are GOBA moorings. The river between Brandon and Thetford, once a main trade artery for the towns, was abandoned in the 1930s when the old staunches fell into disrepair. Fixed weirs erected by the Great Ouse River Authority in the 1960s now make navigation to Thetford impossible. Attempts to reinstate the navigation, supported by EAWA and Friends of the Little Ouse have so far been unsuccessful. In 2015, Thetford Town Council launched a new initiative to improve the river and eventually bring boats back to Thetford.

No New Posts THE GREAT OUSE.

By the beginning of the 1900s the River Great Ouse was effectively closed to navigation from St. Ives upstream to Bedford as the locks were inoperable. The Great Ouse Restoration Society, supported by EAWA, campaigned for re-opening of the navigation, finally succeeding in 1978 when the new lock at Castle Mills was opened. The Great Ouse navigation was once more open from Bedford to the sea.

No New Posts Middle Level

The Middle Level of the low-lying Fens comprises over 120 miles of drainage channels of which 100 miles are statutory navigations. These navigations form the only link between the main UK canal system and the Great Ouse and there are over 1000 boat passages through the link annually. As the UK's fourth largest navigation authority the Middle Level Commissioners do a fine job in maintaining the navigations even though there is no boat registration scheme and they receive no income from boaters. EAWA campaigns to re-open the southern route through the Middle Level via the Forty Foot River/Horseway Lock and Welches Dam Lock which is at present sealed by an Environment Agency cofferdam. See our Project Hereward topic.

No New Posts Project Hereward - Welches Dam to Horseway

EAWA's successful Project Hereward, first launched in 1991, which has driven and facilitated many improvements to the Fenland Waterways, now has a brand new phase.
Through Project Hereward's New Dawn, EAWA, in partnership with Peterborough IWA, plans to restore navigation to the Forty Foot River between Horseway Lock and Welches Dam to create a Waterway for All.
The navigation has been unlawfully closed since 2006 by an Environment Agency cofferdam at Welches Dam Lock, the junction with the Old Bedford River.

No New Posts River Nene

The River Nene is navigable from Northampton, where it links with the canal system, to the Wash - a total distance of 88 miles. There is also a link via Stanground Lock at Peterborough to the Middle Level navigations and onward to the Great Ouse system. The river is noted for its outstanding picturesque and tranquil scenery and with 39 locks and quickly changing flows is never dull for boating. There are a number of well-established boat clubs along the river, some providing moorings, which co-operate as the Association of Nene River Clubs (ANRC).
