Great aircraft in here and at all angles. Our little grand daughter loved weaving in and out of the planes. We really enjoyed our day and trip there

Sacred Stones Willow Row Barrow

Willow Row Barrow is a hand-crafted monument providing a haven of peace and calm. Echoing what they meant to our ancient ancestors, Willow Row is a secular monument for the safe storage of cremation ashes, a unique venue for commemorative events and funerals. The barrow also provides a venue for education, intimate performance, and peaceful contemplation.

Central mosque Cambridge

Reviewed By Njhggfff

Visited this splendid mosque on a warm September day. As you enter the mosque, immediately you are in the beautiful Islamic garden sorrounded by trees, plants and a water fountain/ oasis. Very peaceful and relaxing as it opens after 11.30am. A great way to start the day before prayer times. We entered the inside of the mosque at 1pm due to covid restrictions. Staff were very helpful. Had our temperature checked, signed in and all other precautions were taken before entering the prayer hall. Architecture in the main prayer hall was stunning beautiful. This mosque is Europe’s first eco mosque. Lovely place for prayer and contemplation.

All Saints' Church

All Saints’ stands opposite the gates of Jesus College in the heart of Cambridge, its pale stone spire a prominent city landmark. It was built in the 1860s to the plans of the famous 19th-century architect G.F. Bodley, and is a triumph of Victorian art and design. The interior is richly decorated - almost every surface painted, stencilled or gilded; flowers run riot over the walls. Light gleams through stained-glass windows designed by leading Arts and Crafts artists, including William Morris and Ford Madox Brown. The building is maintained by The Churches Conservation Trust and is open daily for visitors.

I took my son and his friend (both 5) to the first “free” Open Day on Thursday 6th August. We were told it was the first day that the Museum had been opened in 2020 and due to covid restrictions, some of the exhibitions were closed hence having a free opening to the public. My son and his friend hadn’t been before and were wowed by the windmill (exterior), the classroom, vintage vehicles and the telephone exchange. The staff were really friendly and prices of items in the gift shop were really reasonable (luckily for Mummy)! We hope to return again once more of the exhibits are allowed to re-open again.

Clarkson Memorial

Reviewed By Anna20202015 - Wisbech, United Kingdom

This statue is by the river just off the high street on the old A47. It has been renovated in the last few years. It commemorates Thomas Clarkson who was the prime mover in the abolition of the slave trade. He recruited William Wilberforce. The statue is made of a number of different types of Sandstone beautifully carved into scenes of slaves breaking their chains. It is well worth a look.
