About

Wittering ward lies on the western edge of the city, encompassing the village of Wittering itself along with the neighbouring settlements of Thornhaugh and Wansford. The area is largely rural in character, defined by agricultural land and the River Nene which forms part of its boundary. This landscape supports active farming and provides a distinct contrast to the more urban wards of Peterborough.

The ward contains the historic Wansford-in-England, a name stemming from its famous old bridge and association with a local legend about a sleeping miller. The presence of significant military aviation is felt with RAF Wittering located here, a base with a long history of operational service. Transport links are provided by the A1 road and a railway line that passes through the area.
