Yes you can swim here on certain days, check the website for details.

Hi, there is a barrier with a camera that clocks your car/reg. you then park up and enjoy your day, upon leaving you enter your reg in the machines located nearby. It’s around 1.50 for an hour. Once paid, You then have 30 minutes to leave and barrier recognises your registration and lifts. We stayed about 4 hours and was £5. Hope this helps :)

Hi Natalia, thanks for your message. The best walking route from Queensgate Shopping Centre is 3.6 miles and takes approximately 1 hour and 10 minutes. Walk out of town over Crescent Bridge, which runs over the railway tracks. Walk along Thorpe Road for some way until you come to a roundabout. Turn left at the roundabout, as if walking to the Boathouse Restaurant. Then keep to the right (The Dragonfly Hotel will be on your left). Straight ahead will be Peterborough Rowing Lake. Walk alongside the right side of the entire length of the lake then take the first left. This will take you under the Nene Parkway and the path will bend to the left before then bending to the right. Next, follow the path across the bridge, over the River Nene. Take the crossing straight ahead across the railway tracks. Take the first right which takes you past Orton Lock Car Park (on your left).Walk for some way along the railway tracks and take the first right, which will take you back over the railway tracks. Take the first left. Keep following the path straight ahead which will eventually take you past the Nene Valley Railway Station and onto Ham Lane. Cross Ham Lane and turn right to access the footpath running along the left of Ham Lane. This path will take you into Ferry Meadows. Hope that helps!

I am not sure, but they have an information office who could answer your query. Check their website for the number to phone.

Hi there. Thanks for your query. Rubber dinghies that you have at the beach are not permitted. Sailing dinghies and rowing boats are both permitted and in both cases you will need to prove third party liability insurance and pay a launch fee of £10. hope that helps.

Hi. We don't advise that dogs swim in the lake as we can't be sure what is in the lake. We do occasionally get blue/green algae in the lake which is toxic for dogs. Obviously if your dog goes into the lake then it is at your own risk.

Half the time the NPR cameras don’t even register you! But you have up to 24 hrs to pay on line I believe, if cash isn’t taken. Never had the problem myself though

Strictly yes

We did it on the bus, it's a moderate hike from the bus stop to the park, and it's not that obvious where the right stop is if you don't know. But yes, it's do-able.
