This was our first visit to this site and booked at the last minute. We arrived mid afternoon to find that there were only three pitches left but we found one of them totally suitable for our 3 night stay. The Ferry Meadows Country Park is on the doorstep and the walks and facilities there are superb. Loads of paths and facilities to chose from especially during the warmer months when boat rides, nature rambles, boat hire, miniature train rides, horse riding centre, cycle hire, fishing, archery, barbecue sites etc are all available and the Nene Valley Railway station is but an amble away. This is the best route into the centre of Peterborough there is and a discount system for CC members. Two cafés serve the Park so refreshments are none too far away. The CC site is up to the usual standard with helpful and friendly wardens, although during our visit, the autumn leaves were a constant source of work for the wardens, keeping the leaves off the access roads and the service points.....hope that the drainage system can cope with the ingestion of leaves!!!! Forgot to say that we stayed on the West Site where the amenity block is central to all pitches and virtually all were hardstanding. The East Site is biased towards grass sites again with one central amenity block. One small touch we liked was that the box for the electronic card for barrier access to the site was situated immediately by the card reader by the barrier.....no getting out off the car to deposit the card when leaving. Just a small thing but so convenient.....other security sites please note. Peterborough is a very good shopping centre with a great variety of shops and amenities. The cathedral is well worth a visit and NO CHARGE....just donations, unlike other cathedrals where you have to pay for admission. We will return for more walks and exploring Ferry Meadows Country Park and Peterborough.
