The Ouse Valley Way is a 150-mile footpath following the River Great Ouse from its source near Brackley in Northamptonshire to its mouth in The Wash near King's Lynn.

There is a long-term plan to complete remaining gaps in the path, meanwhile it's possible to walk the entire route although in places the footpath and river temporarily part company.

Towns from source to mouth include Buckingham, Milton Keynes, Olney, Bedford, St Neots, Huntingdon, St Ives, Ely, Downham Market, and King's Lynn.

The route is way-marked and maintained by The Countryside Agency who also provide maps and written guides online.
