Nene Washes is a 1,522.1 hectare biological Site of Special Scientific Interest on the bank of the River Nene east of Peterborough in Cambridgeshire.[1][3] It is also a Ramsar internationally important wetland site,[4] a Special Area of Conservation,[5] a Special Protection Area[6] and a Nature Conservation Review site.[7] An area of 280 hectares is managed by the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds.[8][9]


This is described by Natural England as one of Britain's few remaining areas of washland which are vital for the survival of wildfowl and waders. Wintering wildfowls include wigeons, teals, pintails and Bewick's swans. The rich flora in ditches include uncommon species such as frogbit, water violet and flowering rush.[7]


There is access to the RSPB reserve immediately east of the B1040 road from Nene Way. The western end is private land with no public access.[9]
