|  | Peterborough is a modern-day city which hides a wealth of history just waiting to be uncovered. Visit Flag Fen Bronze Age Centre where archaeologists found the oldest wheel in Britain. Then fast forward a few centuries to discover the "new" 12th century cathedral with the largest surviving example of a painted wooden ceiling from the Middle Ages.
Peterborough Museum is the city's most haunted building - you can join in a ghost tour if you dare! They also have one of the best collections of marine monsters in the world. Why not take a trip on one of the steam engine at Nene Valley Railway and feel yourself transported to a bygone age. |
But do not forget the natural pleasures - green open spaces, lakes and riverside. Or take to two wheels and make the most of our Green Wheel cycle network to cover miles of glorious countryside linking our sleepy stone village and pretty market towns.
Enjoy Peterborough's events - the Dragon Boat race, CAMRA Beer Festival, East of England Show, the Peterborough Festival or just relax with a nightout at the theatre or the greyhound stadium.
Peterborough can entertain you all year round! | | |
