November 21, 2021 Misti Hsu

Cambridge might be best known for its university, home to some of the world’s greatest minds (Milton, Darwin, Hawking, etc.). But there’s a vibrant theater and arts scene here as well, and you’ll find fantastic contemporary restaurants mixed in with traditional pubs. Climb the tower of Great St. Mary’s Church for sweeping views of the city.

The Backs

Landscaped open areas and gardens weaving behind many colleges on the River Cam, which are known for their daffodils and crocuses in the spring, and stunning views of the colleges across the river at any time of year.

Lovely walk though lots of cyclists and joggers to avoid...! Had to keep the kids out of the way ....

Byron's Pool

Reviewed By seattaxi - Cambridge, United Kingdom

A superb place for a walk. I went with my daughter and our dog for a leisurely stroll by the river. We all enjoyed the trip. The woods are very peaceful and quiet. There is a small car park off Granchester road which usually has spaces.
