Often referred to as 'Britain's Pompeii', Must Farm an exceptionally well-preserved Late Bronze Age settlement between Peterborough and Whittlesey. In 1999 decaying timbers were discovered protruding from the southern face of the brick pit at Must Farm. Investigations in 2004 and 2006 dated the timbers to the Bronze Age and identified them as a succession of large structures spanning an ancient watercourse. The Must Farm settlement archive includes weapons, textiles, beads, fish traps, cooking items, and Britain’s earliest wheel.

RAF Upwood was one of the most important airfields in the area during the Second World War, with a 2,500-strong workforce at its wartime peak. Such was Upwood’s operational importance during the early 1940s, three new concrete runways were built in 1943 to allow the first of the Pathfinder Squadrons to operate from the base. In February 1941, Josef Jakobs, a German spy, was parachuted into a field adjacent to the base and was captured by local farmers. Jakobs was discovered to have maps of the RAF Upwood area, a code device and almost £500 cash on his person. In August 1941, Jakobs was executed by firing squad at the Tower of London having been found guilty of treachery. In the years after the war, Upwood performed various RAF roles until 1981, before being taken over by the United States Air Force. As of 2026, the majority of the base has been demolished ahead of redevelopment, with around a dozen buildings remaining
