About

Gunthorpe ward lies in the northwestern part of the city of Peterborough. The area is primarily residential, characterised by a mix of housing from the mid-20th century, including numerous semi-detached homes and bungalows. Its layout is defined by several main roads that channel traffic through the neighbourhood. The local landscape is generally flat, typical of the surrounding Fens, with green spaces integrated within the housing estates.

The ward contains several local shops and services clustered along its main thoroughfares, catering to daily needs. A notable feature is the presence of the former Gunthorpe public house, a prominent local landmark that has been converted for alternative community use. The area is served by multiple primary schools and is adjacent to larger green corridors leading towards the countryside, providing accessible routes for walking and cycling.
