River Great Ouse Cycle Path

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

This is an excellent traffic-free cycle path that runs along the River Great Ouse into Kings Lynn.

This section traces a wide part of the Great Ouse, close to its mouth at The Wash where it drains into the North Sea.

It's the longest of several British rivers called "Ouse", flowing through Buckinghamshire, Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Norfolk to its source in Syresham in Northamptonshire.

Marriott’s Warehouse, South Quay

Highlight • Historical Site

Marriott’s Warehouse on South Quay was built as a Tudor warehouse, around the 1580s by one of East Anglia’s wealthiest corn and sail merchants, Thomas Claybourne.

Until the 1830s the building was actually on the riverbank, then engineering works took place to straighten the course of the river, creating a new sand bank, which subsequently led to the formation of South Quay.
