Huntingdon the county town of the district of Huntingdonshire, is a market town in Cambridgeshire, England. Best known as the birthplace of Oliver Cromwell, it is today a small town with a population of around 20,000 people.

Huntingdon was founded by the Anglo-Saxons and Vikings. The Danes used it as their staging post to raid the areas outside of east Anglia. It is located on the north bank of the River Great Ouse, across from Godmanchester, near the town of St Ives. A medieval bridge crosses the River Great Ouse, connecting it with Godmanchester. Until 1975, when the A14 bypass was built, it was the only crossing between Huntingdon and Godmanchester.

Visiting Huntingdon

Take the A1 road north out of London until the interchange with the A14 road. Follow signage to head east to Huntingdon.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
