The Thorpe Meadows Sculpture Trail weaves through one of Peterborough’s most picturesque green spaces, offering a unique blend of outdoor art and waterside scenery. Set beside the River Nene and the city’s Olympic-standard rowing lake, this free public trail features a series of contemporary sculptures by acclaimed artists, each thoughtfully placed to complement its surroundings. The artworks range from abstract forms to figurative pieces, encouraging visitors to pause, reflect, and see the landscape in new ways.
The meadows are also a haven for wildlife, with open lawns, tree-lined paths, and tranquil waters attracting walkers, joggers, cyclists, and birdwatchers alike. Benches and picnic spots make it an ideal location for a leisurely afternoon, while the adjacent rowing course and café add to the lively riverside atmosphere. Whether you’re an art lover, a nature enthusiast, or simply in search of a peaceful stroll, the Thorpe Meadows Sculpture Trail offers a memorable escape just a short walk from the city centre.
