You can’t visit Cambridge without getting out on the water in a punt. The River Cam runs through the centre of the city, and one of the most scenic stretch is known as the Backs. This is where seven of the colleges back onto the river, and you get a great view of their buildings, bridges and well-manicured grounds as you sail by.

There are many companies offering this, but the best is Scudamore's Punting Company (linked below).

Located a short distance from the centre of Cambridge, this historic and picturesque village features 4 excellent pubs, a gin distillery, quaint thatched cottages and a pool where Lord Byron used to swim. It is also the location for the series 'Grantchester' and has miles of beautiful countryside for walking.

Get a glimpse into Cambridge student life with a tour of its colleges. The university is made up of 31 independent colleges, where students live and study. Most of them are open to visitors to take a look around at least part of the time – though opening times vary. Most people would recommend visiting Kings, St Johns and Trinity, but Jos would definitely recommend Gonville and Caius (famous for its world class rugby team).

A stunning building that houses art and antiquities from around the world and is free to visit. It was built in 1848 to house the vast collection of objects that Viscount Fitzwilliam had bequeathed to the University of Cambridge. And today it has over half a million objects in its collections.

The Botanic Garden is a treasure trove of over 8,000 plant species, including nine National Collections and a wonderful arboretum. A real oasis in the heart of Cambridge, the Botanic Garden is a wonderful day out for all ages.

The Eagle pub has been serving drinks since 1667. The pub was where scientists Crick and Watson announced they’d discovered DNA in 1953. And when you’re at the bar, look up and you’ll see the RAF ceiling, where pilots coming back from the Second World War signed their names and squadron numbers.

This Cambridge cafe is famous for its extra sticky, spiced Chelsea Buns. They’ve been made to the same recipe since 1922, and they now produce over 160,000 of them each year.

We are very lucky to live directly opposite Duxford Air Museum and promise it is an amazing day out! . See Spitfires take to the skies from the airfield where they first flew, get up close to gigantic aircraft and walk in the footsteps of the men and women who served here.
