History of Portholme:
The unbeatable view that comes with the property overlooks Portholme Meadow, a location rich in history. Previously known as Cromwell's Acres, Portholme Meadow is the largest water meadow in England, covering 365 acres of land. It is a Site of Special Scientific Interest due to its remarkable size and uncommon flatness. The meadow has a fascinating history: in the 1700s, it was used as Huntingdon's racecourse for horse racing, and in the early 1900s, it became the site of the first man-carrying airplanes to fly and take off in Britain.
In the current day, it is used by people and animals walking in the meadow, wildflowers growing and is where fishermen sit.
