The Peterborough Blue Plaque Trail is a self-guided walk linking dozens of commemorative plaques across the city centre. Each plaque marks a place, person, or event of historic significance—from architectural landmarks to the former homes of notable figures. The trail offers a rich, accessible way to explore the city’s heritage, uncovering stories that might otherwise be overlooked. Visitors can follow an official printed map or use online resources to plan their route, with most plaques located within easy walking distance of Cathedral Square.
