 Construction of the A14 bypass means that heavy traffic now flows over a modern bridge to the south of the town.Between Godmanchester, Huntingdon and Brampton lies England's largest meadow, Portholme, which remains an important flood plain, but which has served as an equestrian racecourse and centre for early aviation.South of the town centre are the headquarters and a large operational shelter of veterinary/rescue charity Wood Green Animal Shelters.
