Woodston Library

A proper library in the heart of Woodston, just outside Peterborough, serving the local community with books, computers, and the kind of quiet corner you actually need when you're staying in a caravan nearby. Nothing flashy about it - you get the essentials: lending collections, a decent selection for kids, and free WiFi if the campsite connection is playing up. The staff know what they're doing, which makes a difference when you're trying to find something specific or need help navigating the public computers.

It's the sort of place families with children will appreciate during a rainy afternoon at Ferry Meadows or Nene Outdoors - both within a couple of miles - without needing to drive into central Peterborough. Readers looking for the latest releases or back catalogue picks will find what they need, though don't expect specialist collections. The real value is practicality: a warm, dry space with proper resources. Worth knowing about if you're planning a week on the caravan sites rather than treating it as a destination in itself. Call ahead about opening hours and any summer reading programmes if you're bringing kids along.
