Description
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. A few minutes away is the wonderful old Guildhall. Built originally in 1671 it has served as both a market and a townhall. A farmers market is still held here regularly along with many over events in the square.A short stroll away is the really rather wonderful Peterborough Cathedral which we shall explore inside.Next to Burghley House, known around the world for its Horsetrials and depicted in all sorts of big TV and cinema shows.Burghley is one of the largest & grandest surviving houses of the 16thC & amongst the very finest examples of the great Elizabethan houses. We will explore all over the house in the service areas & upstairs for all the magnificent rooms and corridors all richly decorated with fabulous works of art.Finally we can explore the gardens and landscaped estate.
