I know, I think it’s people who don’t really understand and have never visited to be honest! I think it’s a great city with lots to do. Have a good rest of your week 🙂

How can such a beautiful city be voted so poorly? It looks like a wonderful place to explore and I love how you highlighted so many different things to experience there 🙂

I heard about Peterborough but never visited it. Despite its bad reputation, it looks like a lovely place, with plenty to visit. I would love to go there one day 🙂

Thanks so much Ruth. Yes definitely, there are many social issues in the city and a clear wealth divide. I do actually work in Peterborough, but I don’t live there – many of my colleagues do though and I think unemployment is a problem, though crime rates aren’t too bad for a major city. I hope it continues to get investment, generate jobs and keep investing in itself to enable more opportunities for everyone who lives there.

You’ve certainly found some attractive and engaging things in Peterborough! But there must be some other reasons it’s been rated so low – factory town, lack of jobs, crime? Something more about the community that’s not as obvious from a visitor’s point of view, I would guess. Thanks for the visit.

I went to Peterborough a few years ago and it was awful. I was actually scared at points and I don’t think I’d ever re-visit but your post is good to show some positive sides
