Middle Level Navigations
Criss-crossing a huge area of flat, fertile Fenland, this intricate network of waterways and drainage channels has a beauty and intensity all its own.
The Middle Level is an extensive complex of man-made drainage channels created to keep the once-marshy land dry. They also provide navigational links between settlements.
The flat, brooding landscape is interspersed with settlements or isolated buildings - many of them suffering subsidence as the land dries out.
Please note, on the map, the Old Beford Navigation is not part of the Middle Level Navigations and the Sixteen Foot River is navigable as far as the aqueduct.
