I think there’s no better place to start you all off in Peterborough, but with a visit to one of the most used and most popular places in Peterborough which is Nene Park and especially the part we all love, Ferry Meadows. It’s our very own piece of the country - in the city. Situated just 3 miles out of the centre and next to the Ortons, it’s a massive land area which was created back in 1978 and has never stopped being a go-to place for walking, cycling, bird watching, duck feeding, nature watching, fishing, playing and open

What a glorious afternoon of sunshine to have had the wonderful opportunity of trying out the new electrically- powered ‘Wyndham’ boat trip at Nene Park Ferry Meadows, getting for its launch next week. ‘Captain James’ was at the helm of this lovely little boat on Overton Lake with Oliver telling us all about the details and future plans. You can have a ride on the lake next week and then it will be put away to reopen at Easter 2021. The trip starts off at the jetty opposite the visitor centre where you will be able to sanitise your

What does Peterborough have to offer? Not much except a Cathedral? Well actually, it does! We Love Peterborough is all about raising awareness of what's on, what's new and sharing the good things about our city. We started out way back in April 2014 with 1 follower (me) and a bunch of photographs. Nearly 7 years on and we have a following of over 17,000 people. We believe that all you have to do is open your eyes and see what's right in front of you. We are all guilty of getting used to our surroundings no matter where

Delilah! So, initially I wasn't interested in the concert that was going to be performing at Peterborough United Football Ground, mainly as I'm not personally a concert follower. The only one I've ever been to was waaaayyy back in 1989, Wembley Stadium for Cliff Richard (and before you start....he was really popular back then). It was 'The Main Event' I got to see him sing and came away with a lovely colour glossy brochure, so was chuffed to bits. However, I missed out on Madonna and Michael Jackson when they played at Leeds in the 1980s, because as I

What a Haven!

Stepping into Railworld Wildlife Haven is like stepping into a different dimension, it is so majestic, peaceful and calming. From where I live it is just a five-minute walk to Railworld Wildlife Haven and I couldn’t wait as for me it would be like walking down memory lane from when I used to visit with my Dad when I was younger. At the entrance I met Will, who said he has been volunteering since 2012, as well as Bill and Becky. They were all very enthusiastic about Railworld Wildlife Haven and told me a bit about the Haven. For me the

It’s Armed Forces Day today in Peterborough town centre: 29th June 2019. It's a pleasure to walk around a busy Cathedral Square and Bridge Street full of stalls and activities. Along Bridge Street there are plenty of fair rides for the kids - Helter Skelter - jumping ropes, bumper cars and rides. Further up there are some independent stall holders who were offering gifts for you to buy like multi-coloured letters, jewellery and delicious cakes - especially a giant pride cake which look yummy.... I didn't have any though! and face painting for the kiddies. Around the main

The dinosaurs are coming...and they're on the loose on the Embankment. We made a visit to the Embankment today where there were already hoards of people by 2pm when we arrived. The fairground was full with people enjoying themselves on the rides with this lovely hot weather. What a great day.. and to top it all we'd seen that there was a Jurassic Park Adventure with some dinosaurs to meet too. Off I went to find out where they'd be.. right at the bottom of the fair and I found the wonderful group called Fossils Galore with their set
