Find out more about the fascinating and often undiscovered history of Peterborough, from the foundation of the Saxon abbey to the modern city. Discover the secrets of the Cathedral precincts, find out why the river is important as the heart of the city and hear about the many enthralling stories and personalities connected to our past.

Learn why some of our earliest history is in the floors of the Queensgate shopping centre, who buried two Queens in the cathedral, and how Dickens and Shakespeare have both immortalised people from the city. Discover why we had a radio station called Hereward and why French prisoners were kept in the area.

All tours last about 100 minutes and take place whatever the weather, starting from outside the Museum on Priestgate.

Walkers can turn up and pay on the day although places can be pre-booked from Peterborough Museum 01733 864663, emailing or from the Visitor Information Centre 01733 452336.

Duration: Approx 100 mins
