Cambridge’s famous university boasts late gothic quadrants and sleepy lawns, side-by-side with state-of-the-art Norman Foster-designed faculty buildings.
Cambridge’s 31 university colleges span so many centuries that knowing where to start is difficult. Our top tip is to pack a picnic and Pimms, hire a punt, and drift behind the scenes on The Backs, where you’ll pass college chapels and duck under stone bridges. On rainy days visit palatial university museums and galleries housed in neo-classical buildings and see bird-of-paradise plants in the botanic garden glasshouses. It’s not difficult to see how this city inspired the atom split and DNA discovery.
