Visiting Peterborough

A modern city with plenty of history, visitors could start at the Flag Fen Bronze Age Centre where the oldest wheel in Britain was found. Then skip forward a few centuries to the Norman Cathedral which has a painted wooden ceiling from the Middle Ages.

Other attractions include Peterborough Museum with its marine monsters collection, and Sacrewell Farm and County Centre just outside the city where you can meet shire horses. Shopping is another favourite pastime, and of course there are plenty of bars, cafes and restaurants to keep you going.

Tips: Floating restaurants on the river provide a romantic setting.
