Peterborough tourist information

Peterborough, in the North East of Cambridgeshire, is known as the 'Gateway to the Fens'. A small city situated on the edge of this vast flat, expanse of farmland, Peterborough emerged as the region's industrial capital after the building of a major rail junction just outside the historic city centre. Today the city continues to grow relatively rapidly through immigration, and is home to a large second-generation Italian population as well as a favoured destination for Eastern European migrants. Many travellers will pass straight through Peterborough, perhaps stopping only to change trains, but the historical attractions in the city centre are only a short walk from the station.
