Running

Part of Nene Park, Ferry Meadows is a hive of activity and relaxation. Gunwade Lake, Overton and Lynch Lake make for a beautiful setting for a run, not far from the centre of Peterborough. There is a cafe, bus stops and car parking so it also makes for a good start/end point for a run along the River Nene.

Running

Gunwade Lake at Ferry Meadows is a fantastic spot for a flat and scenic run. If you're a runner, I highly recommend checking it out! The path is wide and well-maintained, and you'll often see lots of other runners and walkers, making it a really friendly and motivating place to be. It’s perfect for working on your pacing and enjoying the beautiful views. #running #FerryMeadows #GunwadeLake #runnertip
