Explore Peterborough

Peterborough offers fun, shopping, culture and countryside. Wander around stately homes and historic buildings, sample the menus at our wonderful eateries, lose yourself in acres of rolling countryside and miles of waterways or experience the city’s buzzing events and nightlife.

Peterborough Museum is the city’s most haunted building – join a ghost tour, or take a trip on one of the steam engines at Nene Valley Railway.

Don’t forget the natural pleasures too – green, open spaces, lakes and riverside. Or take to two wheels and make the most of the Green Wheel cycle network to cover miles of countryside.

There are plenty of other events to be experienced too. The CAMRA Beer Festival, East of England Show and the Peterborough Festival. Or relax, with a night out at the theatre or greyhound stadium.

With a wide variety of quality hotels, bed and breakfasts and cosy cottages and easy access by road (A1M) and rail (45 minutes direct from London), Peterborough is ideally situated for a short break or day visit.
