At the heart of this spectacular destination is Cambridge University, which is split into 31 architecturally stunning colleges.
The most famous is Kings College, with its distinctive gothic chapel and illustrious list of former students. You could spend the day in the bustling market square or punt lazily down the River Cam – either way, Cambridge is a truly idyllic place to explore. Enjoy a relaxing walk through Cambridge University Botanic Garden, or admire the shining 24-carat gold Grasshopper – the Corpus Clock – on Corpus Christi College’s Taylor Library.Be sure to seek refreshment in one of the town’s many tearooms. Fitzbillies, which has been around since the 1920s, is a Cambridge institution and a cosy spot for a traditional afternoon tea.
