Why Fly to Peterborough, United Kingdom?

Cambridge Airport (CBG) is the nearest commercial airport to Peterborough, though most visitors use London Kings Cross (50 min by LNER express train to Peterborough) or Stansted Airport (1h by road). Peterborough is ideally positioned for exploring the Fens, the historic market towns of Stamford and Oundle, and the stately homes of Northamptonshire.

Peterborough Cathedral
Peterborough’s magnificent Norman Cathedral — begun in 1118 — has one of England’s finest and most distinctive west fronts, with three soaring arches unlike any other English cathedral. The nave’s 13th-century painted wooden ceiling is exceptional, and Catherine of Aragon’s tomb is marked by a banner and fresh pomegranates.
The Fens & Wicken Fen
The Fenland landscape surrounding Peterborough — flat, agricultural, and atmospheric — is one of England’s most distinctive regions. Wicken Fen National Nature Reserve (Cambridge’s side) is England’s oldest nature reserve, with swallowtail butterflies, hen harriers, and the haunting landscape of ancient drained peat bog.
Ely Cathedral
Just 30 minutes south of Peterborough, the spectacular Ely Cathedral — known as the Ship of the Fens for its appearance rising from the flat landscape — contains the unique octagonal lantern tower (1322), one of medieval engineering’s great achievements.
Nene Valley Steam Railway
The Nene Valley Railway — running through the Nene Valley Country Park near Peterborough — operates vintage steam and diesel locomotives including Thomas the Tank Engine characters, making it one of England’s most popular heritage railways for families.
Stamford & Georgian Architecture
Stamford — just 20 minutes from Peterborough — is considered England’s finest stone town, with 17th and 18th-century limestone buildings, five medieval churches, and a streetscape so perfectly preserved that it regularly stands in for Georgian-era film and TV productions.
