| The Cromwell influence is all over Huntingdon, for this is the town in Cambridgeshire where he was born. |
| The grammar school which he went to, as did diarist Samuel Pepys, is now the Cromwell Museum. |
| And if that's not enough history on this character, head for nearby Hinchingbrooke House, which although now a school does open its' doors to the public during the summer. |
| Huntingdon dates back to Saxon times and is a pleasant market town. There are a couple of natural sites worth exploring nearby - bluebell covered Brampton Wood and Graftham Water Nature Reserve, where there's a sailing centre and lots of birdlife. |
