Wansford is a riverside village in the unitary authority of Peterborough, in the ceremonial county of Cambridgeshire, England. It sits attractively on the banks of the River Nene and historically grew as a coaching stop on the Great North Road, with a distinctive old stone bridge and a compact conservation area of period buildings.
Culturally and economically the village punches above its size: the preserved Nene Valley Railway has its main station at Wansford, drawing heritage-railway visitors, while local pubs, small businesses and riverside walks make it popular with tourists and commuters to Peterborough. The mix of medieval roots, coaching-era architecture and a busy heritage railway gives the village a strong sense of place.
