Peterborough

Peterborough today is thriving. It’s a regional centre for business, industry, transport, culture and leisure, and is growing rapidly to meet the demand for new houses. It’s also home to many different cultures and ethnic groups.

Beyond the city limits, there’s a welcoming mix of countryside surroundings, with undulating limestone and clay hills to the west, and the flat expanse of the Fens stretching out to the east. Limestone cottages and winding sunken lanes give way to bold brick buildings and long straight roads and dykes.
