Unwind in the Huntingdonshire countryside.  Spend a relaxing day fishing, horse riding or simply taking a walk in the peaceful country parks.  Cycle through gently undulating scenery, pausing for refreshment at a country pub or tearoom.   Get back to nature and explore one of the area’s nature reserves.  Water lovers can cruise the meandering waterways, or enjoy sailing, surfing or water-skiing. 

Explore the lively local arts scene.  On summer Sunday afternoons bring a picnic and enjoy free open-air concerts at Huntingdon, St Ives, St Neots and Ramsey.  In July, local artists and crafts people open their studios to the public.  Enjoy the St Neots Folk Festival in May, or a classic concert at Hinchingbrooke Performing Arts Centre.  Take in one of the towns’ summer arts festivals, hunt for a bargain in traditional shops or sample a whole range of dining opportunities.  Enjoy local sites – heritage houses and gardens, fascinating museums and unusual animal collections all welcome visitors.  Spend a day at the races or take a trip on Thomas, the children’s favourite train.  History lovers can retrace the steps of Huntingdonshire’s famous people.  It is the land of Oliver Cromwell, Lord Protector of England; Samuel Pepys, the diarist; William Cowper, the poet and Queen Catherine of Aragon, first wife of Henry VIII.

Whatever your age or interest, there is plenty to make your day trip or short break memorable.  Huntingdonshire is a special place, discover it in your own way.
