Cambridgeshire (county)

What you need to know before you go

    Cambridgeshire is one of England’s inland counties and is perhaps best known for its university town. But beyond the centuries-old colleges and attractive landmarks, there’s more to discover in terms of untouched scenery and natural beauty. These include picturesque towns and villages along with the beautiful English countryside linked by walking trails.

    Cambridgeshire treats you to areas rich in history and archaeological finds as well. There’s an aviation museum at Duxford with a warplane collection that harks back to World War I. After a long day exploring Cambridgeshire, you can always settle down for a traditional ale from the many family-run pubs or breweries in the quaint towns.

    • Cambridge

      Most come to Cambridge to visit the hallowed halls of its prestigious 800-year-old university or marvel at the antiquities housed in the Fitzwilliam Museum, but there's more to see than these grand old institutions of academia.

      You could grab a bite to eat at one of the city's Michelin-starred restaurants, join the young students at one of the many summer festivals, or take to the waters zig-zagging down the River Cam on punts in search of a sunny picnic spot. Culture vultures could catch one of the year-round theatre productions or admire one of the country's greatest collections of 20th-century art at Kettle's Yard.
