Where to stay in Eastgate
How the choice of base plays out on the ground.
Eastgate's advantage is its position: Peterborough Cathedral is a walk away, the Peterborough Museum and Art Gallery little further, and the streets between them carry Prebendal House, Nelson House and Yorkshire House. Fengate lies just east. A room in the Peterborough Central ward puts the Church of St John the Baptist and Table Hall within the same short circuit.
Saint Mark's Church (CofE) and Trinity Presbyterian Congregational Church add to it. Peterborough Castle is recorded here too.
