Discover Pidley: Village History, Cricket and Leisure

Pidley offers several specific points of interest for a trip, from the Church of All Saints to memorials in the village. A blue plaque on the village hall commemorates Charlotte Edwards; the granite war memorial stands to the right of the footpath. Sport and breakfast add further options to your travel plans. If you are looking for a holiday cottage, it is therefore worth considering what you would like your stay to focus on: activities, local history or a delicious start to the day.

Golf, Bowling and Breakfast

Lakeside Lodge Golf & Country Club offers the 18-hole Lodge Course, a par-72 golf course set in the Cambridgeshire countryside. The number of holes and the par rating make the course easy for golf enthusiasts to assess: they indicate the scale of the course and its sporting classification. If you would like to include golf in your holiday plans, you can make this clearly described course one of the main focuses of your stay.

Another type of game is available at Lakeside Lodge: ten-pin bowling on four full-size lanes. The difference is in the format: golf is described as an 18-hole, par-72 course, while bowling has four lanes. So you can choose an activity based on what you feel like doing—golf on a course in the Cambridgeshire countryside or ten-pin bowling.

Every morning, Rookery Café serves freshly prepared breakfasts featuring sausages from Johnsons of Old Hurst, the local butcher. This makes for a distinct culinary highlight in your daily plans. If you like to plan your mornings, you can consider breakfast alongside sport and local history as another focus for your stay.

Local History at Specific Sites

A blue plaque to Charlotte Edwards MBE CBE hangs above the fire exit of Pidley village hall. It commemorates her ten-year tenure as captain of the England women's cricket team, from 2006 to 2016. The location, honours and clearly defined time span give Pidley's cricket connection a tangible form. For travellers interested in sporting history, this commemoration offers a different way to engage with the subject than the sports and leisure activities.

The village's granite war memorial is located to the right of the footpath. Together with the plaque, it brings two distinct forms of local commemoration into view: a tribute to Charlotte Edwards and her time as captain, and a granite war memorial. The Church of All Saints is also in Pidley, adding another clearly named place of interest to the village.

Rookery Waters is located on Fen Road in Pidley, Huntingdon, PE28 3DF. If you include this place in your plans, you can use the full address as a guide.
