A Day Trip to
Peterborough
With great transport links, don’t
overlook Peterborough as a day
destination
Offering an exciting mix of culture, countryside and city
attractions, Peterborough is in its prime. You can enjoy
afternoons walking among acres of rolling countryside and
miles of waterways or full days out visiting Peterborough’s
museums, stately homes and visitor attractions.
After a successful shop, take time out to rest your feet at one of
the many cafés and restaurants; dine al fresco so you can soak
up the atmosphere while relaxing with a drink and a bite to eat.
Places to visit
Peterborough Cathedral
The cathedral is open to the public daily and is welcoming
visitors with social distancing measures in place. Wander
around the cathedral admiring the Nave ceiling, choir stalls and
hanging crucifix. Information panels are in place to help you
learn more. The cathedral dates back to 655AD and is the burial
place of two queens; Katharine of Aragon and Mary, Queen of
Scots. Visitors can light a candle at the candle stand, enjoy the
grounds and visit the Sunday carvery and tearoom from Friday
to Sunday. Tours are due to be relaunched in due course.

Nene Park
Only a few minutes from the city centre is the glorious Nene
Park. Stretching out for over six miles along the River Nene, this
is the perfect spot for autumn walks, bird watching, cycling,
riding, sailing and golf. www.nenepark.org.uk
Nene Valley Railway
The trains are up and steaming at this great family attraction.
Feel as though you have stepped back in time as you hop
aboard a steam train and journey through the countryside.
