Its attractive streets and stone buildings reflect a long history as a coaching and trading centre, with a lively Market Place and narrow lanes that sit within a well‑protected conservation area. The surrounding Nene valley and agricultural land give the town a strong rural feel while keeping it within easy reach of Peterborough and the wider East Midlands transport network.
