Things to Do in Cambridge
Cambridge lies on the River Cam, in the East of England and the famous University dates back to 1209, so it’s a place brimming over with rich, British history. Did you know that the University was actually founded by Oxford students who were unhappy with their treatment at their University back in the 13th century! If you’re a visitor to the University, don’t miss the Gothic Chapel and make sure to see the 16th century Great Gate. You’ll find that the museums in the University often have interesting exhibitions. Perhaps you’ll catch a science exhibition or something on archaeology or embark on a guided tour of the University. Another important event that Cambridge is famous for is the Oxford/Cambridge Boat Race which is held annually, usually the first week of April and sees teams from rival Universities Oxford and Cambridge race against each other.
While talking about the boat race, on a warm day, you could hire a boat out and go punting down the river. Or, pack a picnic to enjoy on the banks and watch the passers-by.
There are plenty of other attractions in Cambridge. Take a trip to the Botanic Gardens to admire the flora and fauna or if you’re an art lover, you can visit Kettle’s Yard and check out the modern masterpieces on display. For book lovers, you must visit Heffer’s. While it is a bookshop, it is packed full of literature and you can spend a while perusing what’s on offer, perhaps reading some of the great English novelists’ work.
Those that enjoy antiques should visit the Fitzwilliam Museum which is owned by Cambridge University. It features a treasure trove of interesting ornaments, paintings and artefacts and it’s free to get into.
