Nestled in the east of England's heart, Cambridge is about 60 miles from London, but the contrast with the capital is remarkable.
The picturesque city is home to one of the most famous universities in the world and is dominated by the striking University buildings. Perhaps the most celebrated is Kings College, and no visit to Cambridge would be complete without a trip here.
The city also offers a whole host of outdoor activities, take a traditional punt along the river for a fantastic view of the ancient university architecture, or why not tour the city by bike to discover the impressive countryside.
If shopping is your vice, you won't be disappointed - choose from an outdoor market selling unique trinkets, exclusive designer shops, or the indoor shopping mall - there really is something for everyone here.
