Cambridgeshire Tourist Guide - Articles

There’s nothing worse than holidaying somewhere and not being able to get around whilst you are there. Public transport in and around Peterborough is generally good but if you really want to make the most of your holiday and visit some of the surrounding towns and cities in your own time you should thing about hiring a car.

Thankfully Peterborough car hire is relatively straightforward. You will find all the big name hire companies such as Enterprise Rent a car, Budget and Thrifty all offering cut price deals and weekend specials. Most of the branches will deliver to your hotel if you can’t get out to the branch to pick it up.

Once you have sorted out your Peterborough car hire there are a number of places you can visit. The famous historic city of Cambridge is about 30 minutes down the A1. Or you can go a bit further and explore some more of Cambridgeshire along the A14, either West towards Huntingdon, or East towards the Suffolk coast.

Alternatively you can simply meander around many of the winding country roads and enjoy a pub lunch in one of the fantastic village pubs surrounding Peterborough.

Don’t forget that in the UK we drive on the left hand side and we would generally recommend keeping your drivers license on you at all times. Car crime is rare compared to the inner cities but we would still advise that you keep valuables locked in the boot and out of sight as opportunist thieves do operate, particularly at some of the larger tourist attractions.
