River Nene Boat Covers

The River Nene flows 91 miles from Northampton eastwards through the Nene Valley to Peterborough and then across the flat Fenland landscape to the tidal Dog-in-a-Doublet Lock and into the Wash. The river is navigable by narrowboats throughout, providing a diverse cruising experience that transitions from the limestone country around Northampton, past historic Fotheringhay — where Mary Queen of Scots was executed — and the great cathedral city of Peterborough, into the wide, atmospheric Fenland landscape of Lincolnshire. The Nene Valley east of Peterborough is a remarkable landscape, with the old course of the river meandering through gravel pit lakes that now provide important wildlife habitats. The tidal section below Dog-in-a-Doublet is navigable by confident mariners as far as Wisbech and into the Wash. Open Fenland weather means significant UV exposure in summer, strong easterly winds, and cold winters. The river's varied environments — urban, rural, Fenland — mean boats need covers that handle diverse conditions. UK Boat Covers provides bespoke covers for River Nene craft. No VAT, 6-day turnaround.
