Ouse Valley Way

|
The Ouse Valley Way is a 150-mile footpath following the River Great Ouse from its source near Brackley in Northamptonshire to its mouth in The Wash near King's Lynn.
There is a long-term plan to complete remaining gaps in the path, meanwhile it's possible to walk the entire route although in places the footpath and river temporarily part company.
