Chelmsford and Sheffield were ranked as the top two cities, with Cambridge coming in at 16th.

Novotel said of Peterborough: “Encased in greenery and with Nene Park just three miles out of the city, it’s the perfect place for those who want a vibrant city to explore, but with easy access to the tranquillity of parkland. It also benefits from being one of the driest cities on our list.”
