All about Cambridge

A city generous with its charms, Cambridge is as elegant and cultivated as its long history as an educational epicentre would suggest. It’s almost impossible to separate the city from the esteemed university, founded in 1209. The compact town’s neat streets teem with students—much of the nightlife and cafe culture is designed around them—and the university’s breathtaking architecture, particularly its churches and the astounding King’s College Chapel, are the main attractions. Winding gorgeously through it all is the River Cam, crossed by picturesque bridges. Few leave town without going punting on the Cam. Playing at the life of a scholar isn’t a bad approach for visitors—you can lose hours in bookshops, loll on the manicured lawns of the 31 colleges, discuss philosophy and quantum physics in hip cocktail bars, and finish up at a live music venue, without having to worry about rising early for lectures.

What are the top things to do in Cambridge?

The Backs

The series of gardens and green spaces that run behind Cambridge’s colleges on the riverbanks is known as the Backs, and it’s a great place to soak up a peaceful atmosphere. The university’s Botanic Gardens or the ancient grassland of Midsummer Common, from where you can watch rowing teams practise, are lovely too. Or climb Castle Hill, an old Iron Age fort, for views over the city’s rooftops.

Museum hopping

A good sprinkling of museums includes diverse collections of art and antiquities at the Fitzwilliam Museum and the Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, and the Sedgwick Museum of Earth Sciences features fossils and minerals. The university’s own museums include the Polar Museum, tracing the history of exploration in the regions. Kettle’s Yard, a contemporary gallery in the former home of a curator at the Tate Gallery in London, houses an impeccable art collection.

Wicken Fen

It’s a shame most visitors don’t get beyond the city itself, as the Cambridgeshire countryside is rather lovely. The natural fen landscape — the term for the local marshland — leads right into the city. An hour’s drive outside, the Wicken Fen Nature Reserve is an important wetland with a windmill, boardwalks, and cycling trails. Expect to spy rare dragonflies, birds, and orchids.
