Green Wheel

More Than You Imagine

The Peterborough Green Wheel is one of the city’s best-loved landmarks — a 45-mile network of cycleways, footpaths, and quiet lanes that loop around the city and link directly into the surrounding countryside. Designed for everyone from families to serious cyclists, it connects historic villages, nature reserves, waterways, and green parks in a single, circular route.

Ride the Wheel, Discover the Real Peterborough

Originally created as a millennium project, the Green Wheel celebrates Peterborough’s unique landscape — where city and countryside flow seamlessly together. Along the route, you can explore the wild meadows of Nene Park, the heritage of Flag Fen, the wetlands around Eye and Stanground, and the timeless villages of Marholm, Castor, and Ailsworth. Waymarked paths and connecting spokes make it easy to start your journey anywhere in the city and discover something new each time.

This interactive map lets you explore the Green Wheel’s sections, plan your route, and find nearby attractions, cafés, and rest points. Whether you’re walking, running, or cycling, it’s a brilliant way to experience Peterborough’s great outdoors — at your own pace.

To celebrate 25 years of Peterborough’s Green Wheel in 2025, PECT will be improving the network’s signage and interpretation boards.
