Welcome to Gunthorpe

Gunthorpe is a small village located in the county of Cambridgeshire, England. It is situated on the eastern bank of the River Nene, and is surrounded by beautiful countryside. The village has a rich history, with evidence of human habitation dating back to the Bronze Age. Today, Gunthorpe is a peaceful and picturesque village, with a close-knit community and a range of amenities.

One of the most notable features of Gunthorpe is its beautiful church, St. Mary's. The church dates back to the 12th century, and is a Grade II* listed building. It features a stunning Norman doorway, a 14th century font, and a 15th century rood screen. The church is still in use today, and is a popular destination for visitors to the village.

Gunthorpe is also home to a number of small businesses, including a village shop, a pub, and a hair salon. The village shop is a community-run enterprise, and stocks a range of essentials, as well as locally-sourced produce. The pub, The Anchor Inn, is a traditional English pub with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. It serves a range of real ales and home-cooked food, and is a popular spot for locals and visitors alike. The hair salon, Hair by Emma, offers a range of hairdressing services, and is a popular choice for residents of the village and the surrounding area.

Barnack Hills And Holes
Barnack Hills And Holes Is Fun To Explore. It's A 50 Acre Site That Was A Medieval Quarry. Small But Lots Of Trails And Routes To Weave Around. Also Some Public Footpaths Close To The Site For An Extended Walk. It's Not That Steep But It's Not Wheelchair Friendly. An Average Fitness Level Would Be Needed Perhaps. Paths Are Thin Chalky Tracks Only, And You Can't Walk Side By Side. But Don't Let That Put You Off. Dogs Can Be Off Leads And Love Bombing Up And Down The Teletubby Like Landscape. There Is A Section For Sheep But Its Well Sign Posted. The Site Is A Sssi, With Flowers, Trees And Nature. It's A Popular Local Walk. Easy To Find, Small Free Car Park And On Road Parking Nearby.
