Boathouse

The Boathouse presents itself with a weatherboarded exterior and a majestic sailboat above the entrance, showcasing a charming waterside pub situated in the heart of Nene Country Park. Nestled calmly beside a tributary of the River Nene, yet merely a mile to the west of Peterborough city centre, it exudes a peaceful atmosphere. Surrounded by woodland trails, arable fields, riverside walks, a 17th-century mansion, a sculpture park, and a steam railway, The Boathouse is a sought-after destination for both locals and tourists alike. Acting as a gateway to the vast 2500-acre Nene Country Park, this establishment provides convenient access to cycling trails and pathways along the River Nene, making it a dog-friendly venue. In the evenings, the shaded patio area buzzes with conversation as patrons enjoy a pint of cask ale while witnessing the sun setting over the historic rowing course. During the day, one can often catch sight of a beautifully painted narrowboat gracefully gliding through the serene waters towards The Wash in East Anglia, adding a picturesque rural charm to the surroundings.
