About Peterborough
Modern Peterborough is a thriving city, a regional
centre for commerce, industry, transport and leisure.
It is rapidly expanding to meet the demand for new houses,
and is home to a community of diverse cultures. The city is
surrounded by contrasting countryside, gently undulating limestone
and clay hills to the west and the flat expanse of the Fens to
the east. Limestone cottages and winding
sunken lanes give way to bold brick buildings and long straight
roads and dykes.
