About Eastgate
Where to stay in Eastgate
Not every neighbourhood fits every trip — here's what each one is good for.
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.
About Eastgate
What are the main landmarks in Eastgate?
The register here is long. Peterborough Castle and the Peterborough Museum and Art Gallery head it, and behind them come the Church of St John the Baptist, Saint Mark's Church (CofE), St Mary's and Trinity Presbyterian Congregational Church. Table Hall, Prebendal House, Yorkshire House, Nelson House and 37 Long Causeway carry the domestic and civic end of the list.
Fengate closes it, one name east. Peterborough Cathedral stands just beyond the western edge of all of it.
