The river and its normal banks are indistinguishable at Holywell as flooding hit long areas of the Great Ouse throughout the district where a number of flood alerts remain in place.
Retired cameraman Melvyn Sibson took these pictures of the river on a cycle ride to improve his lockdown fitness.
Melvyn said: “Holywell was impassable and at St Ives drivers needed floats to park.”
Flood warnings are still in place in Huntingdonshire.
