Nene Washes, Protected wetland area in Cambridgeshire, England.

The Nene Washes spans 1,522 hectares of wetland habitats along the River Nene, featuring shallow waters and grasslands that support diverse wildlife populations.

The wetlands were transformed into a flood storage reservoir for the River Nene, maintaining water levels since the early agricultural developments of eastern England.

Local communities participate in wildlife monitoring programs throughout the year, contributing valuable data about bird migrations and wetland species populations.

Visitors can access the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds reserve section from Nene Way, east of the B1040 road for birdwatching activities.

The drainage channels within Nene Washes contain a significant population of spined loach fish, contributing to its Special Area of Conservation designation.
