Peterborough (/ˈpiːtərbərə, -ˌbʌrə/ (listen)) is a cathedral city and unitary authority area in Cambridgeshire, England, with a population of 202,110 in 2017.^[5] Originally part of Northamptonshire, it became part of Cambridgeshire from 1974. The city is 76 mi (122 km) north of London, on the River Nene which flows into the North Sea 30 mi (48 km) to the north-east. The railway station is an important stop on the East Coast Main Line between London and Edinburgh.

The local topography is flat, and in some places the land lies below sea level, for example in parts of the Fens to the east of Peterborough. Human settlement in the area began before the Bronze Age, as can be seen at the Flag Fen archaeological site to the east of the current city centre, also with evidence of Roman occupation. The Anglo-Saxon period saw the establishment of a monastery, Medeshamstede, which later became Peterborough Cathedral.

The population grew rapidly after the railways arrived in the 19th century, and Peterborough became an industrial centre, particularly known for its brick manufacture. After the Second World War, growth was limited until designation as a New Town in the 1960s. Housing and population are expanding and a £1 billion regeneration of the city centre and immediately surrounding area is under way. Industrial employment has fallen since then, a significant proportion of new jobs being in financial services and distribution.

The elegant resort of Hunstanton is the ideal base to enjoy Norfolk’s superb coastline. Hunstanton, or ‘Hunston’ as it is known locally, is renowned for its unique striped cliffs and magnificent sunsets, made special by its position as the only west-facing resort on the east coast. The seaside town began as a purposely-built resort in 1846 and retains its Victorian charm and character to this day, remaining a popular holiday destination for visitors of all ages. From buzzing family activities such as Crazy Golf, Pitch-and-Putt, and the Oasis Leisure Centre to the tranquil Esplanade Gardens there is something for everyone. The town’s array of gardens are especially delightful during the spring and summer months, and you can follow a self-guided Horticultural Trail to make sure you experience them all. Hunstanton’s excellent beach offers ideal conditions for playing on the sand, exploring rock pools, and enjoying the sea. Old Hunstanton has a much more quieter village atmosphere, with carstone-built cottages, traditional British pubs and a much more slower pace of life in general. You can walk from one resort to the other, so you can delight in experiencing the two different areas of Hunstanton in one day. Hunstanton’s popular seasonal land train carries visitors from Searles Leisure Resort to the Lighthouse and back again, making it very easy, and fun, to travel around Hunstanton, taking in many of the sights that the resort has to offer. Famous for its striped cliffs, acres of sand and clear, shallow water, Hunstanton also offers lots of fun attractions for all ages (and weather conditions!).

You will see various colourful and traditional seaside attractions for all the family at Hunstanton, including beach front amusements, fun fair, bowling alley, bandstand concerts on the green, and much more. The town centre and seafront are both easily accessible to disabled visitors, and a specially designed ‘Sensory Garden’ with opportunities to touch, hear and smell the plants and sculptures.

Why not explore the town’s parks, gardens and open spaces included in the Hunstanton in Bloom Horticultural Trail. Created during Hunstanton’s 2010 Britain in Bloom campaign, the 1.5 mile trail begins at the Hunstanton Town Hall. The route stops at 14 locations throughout the town including the popular Esplanade Gardens, as well as lesser-known corners of Hunstanton where new show gardens are taking root.

March, one of the Fens largest and finest towns, still retains much of its Georgian charm. The bustling town centre has plenty of bars and restaurants and the wide main street (Broad Street) is lined with a mix of national and independent shops and eateries. A weekly market is held every Wednesday, just south of the river, in front of the town's superb brick and stone built town hall (1900).

March is blessed with a good number parks and green open spaces but it is best known for its pleasant riverside setting. The course of the Old River Nene (part of the Nene-Ouse Navigation), meanders through the centre. Narrow boats and other pleasure craft can often be seen cruising along this quiet stretch of the river, where there are good moorings. The course of the navigation affords many attractive riverside walks. The town has many interesting old buildings with historical associations. The partly arcaded main street (Broad Street), boasts a number of old coaching inns, plus a few timber-framed and tile hung buildings. At its head is a ornamental fountain dedicated to King George V, and at the southern end is a fine stone carved war memorial (shown below).

St Wendreda's, a magnificent perpendicular church located just to the south of the town, has a fine west tower and an impressive tall spire. It is renowned for the double-hammerbeam roof over its nave, decorated with rows of beautiful carved angels. A few older houses are cluster round it, including a thatched farmhouse (circa 1658).

During the Civil War the town was attacked by the Royalists and scars of this battle can still be seen on the north face of St Mary's Church tower.

March is home to the annual March Summer Festival in early June. It is held in West End Park with popular music, fairground rides and a host of family based activities.

March has excellent road and rail links with Ely and Peterborough.

Donington is a large village and civil parish in the South Holland district of Lincolnshire, England. It is 8 miles (13 km) north from the market town of Spalding on the A152, is bypassed by the A52, and sits between the A16 and A17. The parish includes the hamlet of Northorpe,^[2] and falls within the drainage area of the Black Sluice Internal Drainage Board.^[3] Donington is the birthplace of the explorer Matthew Flinders.^[4]

Local amenities include a park, a playpark, and a teen skatepark. Donington businesses include The Black Bull public house, Coop and Budgens stores in the Market Place, an independent opticians, a butchers, a hair stylist, a flower shop, and a pets & produce outlet. A timber windows manufacturer, employing approximately 100 people, is one of the main employers,^{[citation needed]} while a fire prevention and security company has its head office in Donington.

There are two schools: the Donington Cowley Endowed Primary School, and Cowley Academy, a non-selective secondary school for pupils aged 11 to 16, and partly Grade II listed.^[12][13]

Donington is on an operating passenger rail line with stopping services, but has no station. In 2008 Hull Trains proposed reopening it as a railhead to nearby Boston for a direct Lincoln to London service.

Donington has football teams for two age groups: Old Doningtonians for over eighteens, and Young Dons (established in 1996) for anyone under that age; Old Dons play in the Saturday Boston League and Young Dons on a Sunday in the Mid-Lincolnshire Junior League.

Corby, town and borough (district), administrative and historic county of Northamptonshire, England. It is situated on the crest of a ridge of hills that crosses the county from southwest to northeast and that long yielded iron ore from the formation known as the Northampton Sands. The district comprises the new town of Corby and seven surrounding rural villages.

Corby was a village of 1,596 inhabitants in 1931. In the next five years it became the scene of a remarkable experiment: a steelmaking firm from Scotland moved to Corby with a large number of its original Scottish employees and began to mine the ironstone and manufacture steel and tubing. This Scottish enclave in the English Midlands was designated a new town in 1950, with a development corporation to plan it and a projected population of 82,000. A large new town centre was opened in 1954, and by 1971 the population had increased to more than 47,000. New industries were drawn to the town, but the steelworks (by then a part of the British Steel Corporation) closed in 1979. Area borough, 31 square miles (80 square km). Pop. (2001) town, 49,222; borough, 53,174; (2011) town, 54,927; borough, 61,255.

St Ives is a delightful little market town with a picturesque riverside setting. The wide main street is lined with many attractive buildings and the old Quay, alongside the river, has several handsome oldy-worldy properties. One of the finest of these is an Jacobean manor house (circa 1600), with superb brick chimneys. The market square (Market Hill), has a good variety of shops, from national chains to small specialist outlets. There is also a very good selection of pubs, clubs and restaurants for such a small town. The Corn Exchange and the Post Office buildings on Market Hill are both Victorian.

The history of the St Ives began with Saxons who settled by the River Great Ouse in AD 500. The original settlement was called "Slepe" (meaning a slippery landing place). In 969 it became a manor of Ramsey Abbey. In AD 1000 a local farmer discovered a stone coffin in a field near the river. The remains were claimed by the friars at the abbey to be Saint Ivo, a Persian bishop who came here as a missionary in AD 600. A monastery named Saint Ivo's Priory was then built on the spot where his grave was found. A prosperous town developed around it and the old name of Slepe gave way to that of St Ives. Very little remains of the original ecclesiastical buildings today except for the walls of a 14th-c barn, near a Victorian House call The Priory.

Around AD 1100 a wooden bridge was built across the river to replace the forded crossing. A few years later King Henry I granted St Ives a charter for a market and annual fair. By the 13th-c the fair was one of the largest in the country, and a weekly Monday Market is still held in the town to this day. By the early 15th-c the wooden bridge was replaced with the current six arched, Barnack stone structure. The rare, two-decker bridge Chapel of St Leger, is one of only four of its kind left in England. It was originally built as a sanctuary, where travellers could pause to offer up a prayer for a safe journey, either by river or by road. The chapel is still used for church services and is open to the public. A key is available from the Town Hall and the Norris Museum.

The Black Death of 1349 caused much devastation to both the population and the local wool trade, causing the town to decline in importance thereafter. In April 1689 a great fire swept through St Ives destroying many properties. The town was eventually rebuilt and by the 19th-c developed into a bustling conurbation, with 70 public houses and six local breweries. Although only a few of these establishments now remain.

During the early 17th-c, Oliver Cromwell lived nearby as a farmer, before his rise to fame as a Civil War general. His life-size bronze statue stands proudly in the market place, outside the neo-Gothic style free church. During the Civil War a section of the stone bridge was demolished and replaced with a drawbridge, to defend the town from Royalist attack. The bridge was rebuilt at the end of the war, and if you look closely you can see that the bridge's two southernmost arches are a different shape from the others.

The seven-storey Enderby Mill, on the south side of the river, was built in 1854. It was used to mill corn right up until 1901, when it was converted for use as a printing works by Enderby & Co Ltd. During the 70's the building was repurposed again by Sir Clive Sinclair to manufacture his pocket calculators. It was then later converted into residential accommodation.

Water meadows, stretching both upstream and downstream of the town, provide an unspoiled green open space, forming part of the Ouse Valley Way (long distance path). The stretch from St Ives to Houghton Mill, is particularly picturesque.

Daventry, town and district, administrative and historic county of Northamptonshire, England. Daventry district’s rich, undulating landscape is predominantly rural, with more than 70 parishes. At the heart of the district is historic Daventry town.

Nothing is known of Daventry town before Domesday Book (1086), the record of the land survey ordered by William I (the Conqueror), although Borough Hill, east of the town, is the site of an ancient earthwork. Daventry town was incorporated under a royal charter in 1606, and a new royal charter was granted in 1674. During the English Civil Wars, Daventry was the headquarters of Charles I before the Battle of Naseby (1645) between Royalist and Parliamentarian forces.

Daventry became an important international radio centre after 1925, when the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) established a high-power, long-wave station on Borough Hill. This transmitting station was subsequently augmented with new equipment, and as early as 1932 the BBC had begun regular broadcasting services to the nations of the British Empire (later the Commonwealth of Nations) using shortwave transmitters at Daventry. These facilities were expanded during the Cold War era, resulting in a battle for the airwaves in the eastern European Soviet bloc. The Borough Hill facility was shuttered in 1992, and a lone aerial antenna remained for aircraft navigation purposes.

Silverstone is a highly desirable village in Northamptonshire, best known as the location of the Silverstone Racing Circuit and home of the British Grand Prix.

The racing circuit actually covers a larger area than the village itself!

Silverstone (minus its racing circuit!) was recorded in the Domesday Book as "Silson" and during the Middle Ages it was a busy royal hunting lodge.

Historically, the main local business was in timber sourced from the nearby Whittlewood Forest and there are still some wood and timber yards in the locality today.

Other historic points of interest around Silverstone are the sites of mediaeval fish ponds which can still be seen near the local parish church of St Michael.

The current Gothic Revival building, completed quite recently in 1884, replaces a much earlier church building that dates back to the 13th century.

Silverstone is conveniently located within easy reach of the M40 and M1 motorways.

It has a population of just under 2,000 residents and is large enough to support a post office, a well-stocked village shop, church and a local pub, the White Horse.

The village also has its own Infant and Junior school.

The cottages and houses are clustered along the traditional meandering High Street, and the village is skirted by the main A43 to Towcester.

Village housing is made up of historic cottages with some newer housing which is in keeping with the character of the village.

The friendly local community has plenty of village groups and social events including music groups, singing and yoga classes in the Pavilion.
