    Came to Peterborough with friends and visited the Cathedral. ENTRY IS FREE but in lieu can leave a donation in the box provided on your way out. Steeped in history and if you walk to the back section of the church this is an addition to the original building...took our breath away. The ceilings, architecture is amazing. The inner peace felt was awesome. So worth a visit

    I recently booked and went on the Peterborough tour .. I was met by Stephen and was taken around the most amazing historical places , my favourite had to be Peterborough cathedral .. As a huge Tudor and Henry VIII fan I was overwhelmed to visit the resting place of Henry VIII’s first wife Catherine of Aragon .. Such a fabulous tour , Stephen is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about his history .. the most enjoyable day thank you x
