Nene Valley Railway – adjacent to you for much of your journey is the Nene Valley Railway, a 7.5 mile preserved railway, which runs from Peterborough Nene Valley to Yarwell Junction, calling at Orton Mere, Ferry Mead ows and Wansford. The Railway has even been used as a film set for Hollywood movies, including James Bond’s ‘Golden Eye’. Peterborough Sculpture Park – is an imaginative place for both children and adults to visit located near the Rowing Course on Thorpe Meadows. This outdoor art gallery is a wonderful place to spend a summer afternoon - the abstract nature of many of the works gives plenty of scope for the imagination and the sculptures can be touched and even climbed on by children.
