There are few areas in England as beautifully unspoilt and rich in history as Wansford and the Nene Valley. The River Nene itself attracts boating of all kinds, and it's easy to see why. The river
has a huge abundance of wildlife, including moorhen, mallards, swans, grebes and herons. A true natural haven.

The appearance of the village of Wansford, with its honey-coloured stone buildings, has remained unchanged for centuries, and provides much of the inspiration for the architectural designs at Waters Edge. But this setting is no mere museum piece. Wansford boasts excellent amenities, with three Michelin Starred restaurants within a 30 minute drive.

Nearby Stamford has a thriving contemporary arts scene, too ­ with the nationally renowned Stamford Arts Centre offering a constantly changing programme of music, theatre, dance, exhibitions and film ­ while the thriving city of Peterborough offers everything you could want in the way of nightlife, entertainment, shopping and sport.

With all this unspoilt beauty on your doorstep, it's hardly surprising that film-makers have made abundant use of the area to capture the magic of a bygone age. BBC's Middlemarch and the film
Pride and Prejudice were all shot in and around Stamford and
at the famed Elizabethan house of Burghley, while the historic Nene Valley Railway has featured in productions from Goldeneye to Poirot.

The perfect location, in every sense of the phrase.
