Location guide
Cambridge is connected to the inland waterway network via the River Great Ouse, which flows north through Ely and on to the Norfolk Broads. The city has a small but devoted community of liveaboard boaters, attracted by its cultural richness, green spaces, and cycling-friendly streets. Long-stay moorings are available on the Cam itself and at marinas a short distance downstream, with the most sought-after spots offering direct access to punting routes and riverside pubs. The wider Fenland waterway network — including the Middle Level and the Broads — is within reach, making Cambridge an excellent base for boaters who want to explore one of England's most distinctive waterway landscapes.
