Located a mile or so to the west of the A605 near Thrapston, Wadenhoe is roughly a 30-minute drive from Peterborough city centre, making it easily accessible for a day out. Comprising just a few streets, the quaint village is home to just over 200 people and surrounded by rich countryside. Wadenhoe is packed with stunning stone buildings akin to those found in the Cotswolds, providing plenty of inspiration for amateur photographers. To the south-west of the village are the remains of the former Wadenhoe Castle, thought to date back to the Saxon period. Mounds depicting a rough outline of the castle can be seen to this day, with these best viewed from the Church Street end of the village.
