Nene River Clubs

The River Nene is navigable from Northampton to the sea. Northamptonshire is known as the County of Spires and Squires. The hot spot there is Fotheringhay, a Yorkist and Tudor site. There was the birthplace of Richard III and the place of imprisonment and execution of Mary Queen of Scots, from which only the castle mound remains. The Association of Nene River Clubs is an umbrella organisation for the boat clubs on the River Nene. Highlight of the association’s year is the rally of boats held at one of the clubs during the Spring Bank Holiday. The burgee of ANRC is blue with a yellow four-pointed star.
