Top Peterborough Tours, Sightseeing & Cruises

The holy village of Walsingham has been one of England’s most important pilgrimage sites ever since the 1061, when an apparition of the Virgin Mary appeared to one of the townswomen. This private full-day tour includes round-trip transport from London, free time to explore the village, and the chance to visit both the Roman Catholic and Anglican shrines.

This tour is great for anyone making a day trip from London. We would meet you outside Peterborough Station (45 minutes from London) or indeed from anywhere else you might be travelling.  The site of Peterborough Cathedral was originally Roman, in the 7th century it became a monastic community though that was all but destroyed by the Great Heathen army under the splendidly named Ivar the Boneless. The current Peterborough Cathedral was built after the Norman conquest and seen of activity since then and two queens were buried here including Katherine of Aragon whose tomb we will visit. From here we will make a short journey to the beautiful small town of Crowland which despite it’s modest size is home to two remarkable historical places of interest. The first of which is Crowland Abbey with its picturesque ruins and often dramatic history. Nearby is the unique medieval Trinity Bridge, said to be the biggest curiously in the country.
