The River Great Ouse meanders through Huntingdonshire, passing lovely market towns, tranquil villages, riverside parks and open stretches of meadow with grazing cows.

Picture yourself cruising cool waterways in the summer sunshine, admiring the slowly changing view. Marinas, moorings and tantalising village pubs pepper the banks of the River Great Ouse, making Huntingdonshire the ideal place for a boating holiday.  Download our Waterside Guide for detailed information.  Several companies offer boats for hire, operate passenger services or dinner cruises. 

The area is also a haven for fishing enthusiasts. Why not spend a leisurely day in pursuit of a good catch? Or you may like to spend some time on the water. Try a day's sailing or windsurfing at Grafham Water, where tuition is available. For the more energetic or adventurous, there are the thrills of water-skiing or jet-skiing at Wyboston Lakes.
