TrainPal's Travel Expert Experience
"Visiting Peterborough: Flag Fen is the place that gives Peterborough far more character than many visitors expect. This Bronze Age site preserves ancient timber causeways and archaeology that used to be hidden away beneath the Fens, offering a completely different perspective on the area. If you have the time beyond the centre, pairing it with Ferry Meadows makes for a much stronger day than simply staying around the main shopping streets."
