With some stunning late spring sunshine arriving in Peterborough over the past week or so – and with it forecast to last into the weekend – there is never a better time to enjoy some of the great green spaces in and around our city.
Meteorologist Trevor Pratt has said the blue skies should remain in Peterborough for the next few days, so pack up a picnic, get the bikes out and explore some of parks and other outdoor activities our area has to offer.
Along with taking the number 1 spot with Ferry Meadows, Nene Park also took spots 5 and 8 – so we have only included Ferry Meadows in this list.
