Introducing Peterborough
The sprawling shopping-mad city of Peter-borough is home to a remarkable cathedral that alone justifies it as a day-trippers’ destination from Cambridge or London. And while the city’s high-gloss shopping malls are unlikely to quicken the pulse of visitors, they do inject a lively buzz into its streets. A scattering of other mildly interesting attractions beef up the town’s credentials, but really, see the cathedral and you can leave happy.

Peterborough’s bus and train stations are an easy walk west of the city centre. The tourist office (452336; www.visitpeterborough.com; 3-5 Minster Precincts; 9am-5pm Mon & Wed-Fri, 10am-5pm Tue, 10am-4pm Sat) is in front of the cathedral’s west front, and has information on guided walking and ghost tours (adult/child £4/2). It also has information on other attractions in the vicinity, including a steam railway and reconstructed Bronze Age roundhouses at Flag Fen.
