Cambridgeshire

The river Cam provides a gently flowing backdrop to the winding streets and architectural wonders of Cambridge. Visit as many of the world-famous colleges as you can and don’t miss Kings College Chapel, started by Henry VI in 1446.

Soak up some culture in one of the many galleries and museums - The Fitzwilliam Museum is one of Europe’s treasure houses with antiquities from Greece and Rome and makes for a good afternoon mooch. For retail therapy, the quirky shops and stylish boutiques tucked away on cobbled streets compete for your attention with the designer label stores of the Grand Arcade.

There is a never ending choice of places to eat and drink, with everything from afternoon tea and buns at Fitzbillies, a Cambridge institution since 1921, to cosy brasseries and extravagant dining at Michelin starred restaurants on offer. And no trip to Cambridge would be complete without a spot of punting – book a tour at one of the authorised punt stations and take in the beautiful views of the college ‘Backs’ from the river.
