More about Cambridge

There’s no denying that one of Cambridge’s most iconic landmarks is its world-renowned university, with an 800-year history and an exceptional list of alumni that includes many of the most influential figures in history, such as Sir Isaac Newton, Charles Darwin, and Stephen Hawking.

Tours are available around several of the historic colleges, including Trinity College, King’s, and St. John’s, offering a fascinating insight into the institution’s history, impressive architecture, and centuries-old traditions.

The Cambridge University Botanic Garden offers visitors a peaceful escape from the city with beautifully curated plant collections, glasshouses, and landscaped gardens. Nearby, King’s College Chapel stands as one of the UK’s most striking landmarks, with its Gothic architecture and breath-taking fan-vaulted ceiling.

The Round Church is one of the city’s oldest buildings, dating back to around 1130, and stands as a striking reminder of Cambridge’s medieval roots. Meanwhile, Cambridge Market, trading since medieval times, remains a vibrant spot at the heart of the city, where locals and visitors alike can browse a generous choice of fresh produce, local crafts and vintage finds.

It’s a city steeped in history, with its name having come from a bridge that was built over the River Cam in the Roman era. Cambridge’s prime position on the River Cam means a network of waterways flows through the city, offering the perfect way to explore by boat. Drift along the river, glide under its historic bridges, and take in landmarks such as the famous Mathematical Bridge, Magdalene Bridge or the Bridge of Sighs.

Whatever the weather, the Fitzwilliam Museum is a must-see for lovers of classic art and antiques, with an impressive gallery that features works from the likes of Monet and Rembrandt.

In between excursions, the city has a thriving food and drink culture with a wide range of beautiful pubs, including some of Greene King’s very own collection.

From historic haunts to picture-postcard surroundings and friendly locals, it’s no wonder Cambridge is one of the UK’s most popular destinations.
