Nene Park, Peterborough

Opened in 1978, it occupies a site approximately three and a half miles long, from slightly west of Castor to the centre of Peterborough.

An endowment of properties provides sufficient income to cover running costs, along with that generated by the Park's tenancies and operations.

The park combines a balance of commercial attractions and informal and formal recreational pursuits appropriate to the quiet enjoyment of the countryside in addition to farmed land and nature areas.

The landscape of the park is varied, providing a range of natural habitats, informal areas and visitor attractions, including woodland, flood plain meadow and arable fields.
