Overview

There is something for everybody at Ferry Meadows. Imagine somewhere beautiful, safe and unspoilt where you can walk, cycle, play, horse-ride, ride a train, go fishing, exercise the dog, jog, push the buggy and explore endless meadows, lakes and woodland all less than three miles from Peterborough's busy city centre. We also offer three play areas catering for different ages and an events programme throughout the year with lots of activities for children. If all of this isn't enough to keep you entertained the Visitor Centre stocks a wide range of toys and games along with gifts, souvenirs and sweet treats. After all this activity you can relax at one of our cafes, find a nice spot for a picnic or fire up on one of our barbecue stands. New for 2014: On 11 April Lakeside at Ferry Meadows will open its doors to Park visitors. Lakeside provides a hub for activity and relaxation within Ferry Meadows as the home for Nene Outdoors, a new watersports and outdoor activity venture and Lakeside Kitchen & Bar, a contemporary dining and function venue. A new and exciting play area is set to open in early April. Aimed at younger children the new Otter playground will provide an exciting play space to explore and enjoy.

One of my dog’s favourite place

We visit most weekends, lots of areas for my dog to have fun and the cafe (boating lake) a area for dogs indoors.

A lovely place for a walk

Beautiful place for a walk with the children and dogs. Good play areas, cafe's available although ideal for a picnic in good weather, and a miniature train to ride too. One of our favourite places to visit.

Completely put off by car park

Avoid the place due to complicated parking system and threat of fine 3 months later. It's a shame really because the place it last self looks lovely.

We did it on the bus, it's a moderate hike from the bus stop to the park, and it's not that obvious where the right stop is if you don't know. But yes, it's do-able.
