Information about PETERBOROUGH Peterborough was once the scene of some of England�s most historic events in The Middle Ages. Its magnificent 12th century Norman cathedral is the most prominent testament to this proud past, but there are many others. Horsey Hill Fort was built during Britain�s long forgotten civil war. The fort was a sophisticated gun emplacement and is among the best surviving in the country. The city is surrounded by The Fens- low-lying waterlogged land- and for centuries some of Europe�s best engineers have been involved in draining the land in a project that continues to this day. With the reclaimed land came agriculture and economic prosperity soon followed when the River Nene, which flows through the city centre, was made navigable to the sea in 1761. However, recent archaeological discoveries have shown that Peterborough�s history goes back 3000 years to the Bronze Age. Some of these are enormous and sophisticated wooden structures that have been wonderfully preserved by the waterlogged fens. These sites are constantly expanding and have been developed for visitors.
