The PE8 postcode district covers Oundle, Thrapston, Stilton, Folksworth & Washingley, Wittering, close to Fotheringhay, Wansford, Pilton, and surrounding villages in parts of North Northamptonshire and City of Peterborough.

82 postcodes in the PE8 district appear in the Environment Agency's rivers-and-sea flood-risk dataset — worst bands: 48 high, 8 medium, 24 low, 2 very low. A postcode not listed here has no properties in any recorded risk band (which is good news, but never proof it cannot flood).
