This is an ideal introduction to cycling in Peterborough and the surrounding countryside both for visitors and residents alike. Peterborough, with its 45-mile Green Wheel network of sign-posted cycle routes and flat terrain, makes a great location for two-wheeled explorers.

The Green Wheel threads through picturesque scenery, including woodland, lakes and rivers, nature reserves and pretty villages, where riders will find plenty of country pubs serving excellent value food and other refreshments. Information boards provide notes on the history and natural habitat of each area.

Maps are available for £2.00 from Peterborough Tourist Information Centre. Tel: +44(01733) 452336
