Peterborough

Fotheringhay was an excellent stop.  Moored next to the bank, close to the exquisite village church.  Fotheringhay was made famous because of the incarceration of Mary Queen of Scotts, who was then beheaded in the village castle in 1587 and laid to rest in Peterborough Cathedral.

We have now changed our plans and intend to move onto the Fens (Middle Levels) and visit Whittlesey and March before starting our return trip.  Today (Tuesday) was spent sightseeing,  specifically the Cathedral and surrounding area.  The bad news is that the Beer Festival was last week.

Tomorrow we move onto the Fens.
