Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, England
City of
Cambridge England
Cambridge conjures instant images to mind; the
breathtaking view of King’s College Chapel from across the river,
carpets of daffodils along the Backs of the colleges in springtime,
thousands of students cycling frantically to lectures, lazy summer
punting on the River Cam.
The City manages to combine its role as an historic city with
a world-renowned University and, in recent years, an internationally
acknowledged centre of excellence for technology and science.
The City is surrounded on all sides by heritage villages and
towns and ancient monuments, all within easy travelling distance.
More than 3.5 million visitors come to Cambridge every year to
enjoy the delights of the historic city itself, as well as using it as an ideal
base for exploring some of the gentlest and most unspoiled countryside in
England.
Slightly further afield are the glorious Suffolk wool towns
and villages, such as Lavenham and Long Melford, largely undisturbed since the
Middle Ages.
