Cathedral Tours

We have a choice of tours for visitors:

Historic Cathedral Tours

Our generic Cathedral tour lasts roughly 1hr to 1hr 15 minutes and provides a fascinating insight into the History the building, the key points of religious, architectural and historical interest, as well as accounts of the many stories and legends associated with the Cathedral and an insight into the continuing use of the building today.

Tower Tours

On selected dates from April to October, there is the opportunity for a Cathedral Tour with a difference, a tour of the tallest Towers in Peterborough for just £10! The views from the top are simply breathtaking and are panoramic across Peterborough.

Precinct Tours

It is not just the Cathedral itself that boasts a diverse and interesting history. The Precincts and grounds are equally fascinating, with various tales to be told from way back when the precincts housed some of the city’s most dangerous criminals - not to mention the deer and cattle that used to roam the 26 acres of land that make up the Cathedral site.
