Countryside


Here in the Nene area we are blessed with being surrounded by spectacular countryside. So here are a few reasons why you should visit the countryside:

Fresh air and health

The first thing to do in the countryside is to fill your lungs with fresh air.  The air in the countryside is cleaner than the air in the city.  It has been proven that people who live in the countryside have longer life expectancy than those who live in the towns.

Access and Space

Britain has one of the most comprehensive footpath networks in the world.  With over 130,000 miles of footpath you will never be short of a new walk.  And if you are in need of some exercise why have an expensive workout when you can have a free walk out? Here at Nene Online, we have put together a collection of walks for you which can be found in our Walking Section.

Immerse yourself in nature

Britain boasts an inspiring bio-diversity.  If it is the scent of wild flowers, the spectacle of birds on the wing, the buzz of a busy bee or the warm breeze on your face, the British countryside has it all to offer. The Nene area has a number of clubs and groups which have formed to allow you to get closer to nature and a full listing of these clubs can be found in our Bird Watching Section.

Stay on a farm or pay a visit.

There are over 1,100 farmstay registered properties to stay at where you can enjoy farming life first hand.  Whether it's bed and breakfast, full board or self catering, there will be something to fulfil you needs.  With over 500 open farms and farm attractions Britain can offer all manner of agricultural days out. Here at Nene Online, we have farm accommodation offering visitors the chance to relax and enjoy the surroundings 


Enjoy the view

From the South Downs to the North York Moors, from the flat fens to the undulating dales, the British countryside offers a range of views that no art gallery could match.  Get your boots and get viewing.

Improve your love life

According to a survey commissioned by Country Living magazine in 2004, people living in the countryside enjoyed significantly better love lives than those living in the town.  Say 'hello' to the great outdoors.

These are just a few of the reasons why you should visit the Nene Area.
