Ailsworth is a small village and civil parish on the western edge of Peterborough in the ceremonial county of Cambridgeshire, set close to the River Nene and neighbouring Castor. Its riverside location and proximity to Nene Park give it a semi-rural feel while remaining within easy commuting distance of the city.
Historically the village has deep roots and was long associated with the Soke of Peterborough, and there are Roman-era remains in the locality, reflecting a layered past. Today Ailsworth retains a village character of stone cottages and open spaces, with a largely residential community supplemented by local agriculture and small businesses, and a quiet social life centred on village amenities rather than large commercial activity.
