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, 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.
Whether you call Peterborough home, live nearby, or are just
