Fengate

Fengate is a suburb of the English city of Peterborough, in historic Cambridgeshire. Peterborough was designed as a New Town in the mid-20th century and so boasts fantastic transport links to the capital, as well as to the English South-East as a whole.

Fengate is best known for the Flag Fen archaeological site, at which a number of  Bronze Age discoveries were made in 1982, when a team led by Dr. Francis Pryor conducted a survey of the dykes in the area. They found a large number of poles arranged in five long rows, which lead from Whittlesey to Peterborough across the wet fenland. The find is comparable in rarity and significance to the Balbridie site in Aberdeenshire. The site houses a museum and visitor centre, which exhibits many of the artefacts found, including what is believed to be the oldest wheel in Britain. The Fen Causeway, an exposed section of Roman Road, also crosses the fen.

Other popular attractions in the area include Peterborough Cathedral, Ramsey Abbey, the University of Cambridge Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, the Nene Valley Railway, and the Imperial War Museum in Duxford, to name only a few.
