» GREEN SPACES

The Green Escape… Cambridge and the surrounding area offers an abundance of green spaces – from the city’s many beautiful parks to nearby nature reserves and gorgeous gardens in local stately homes. A stone’s throw from the city centre, Jesus Green is a beautiful stretch of parkland bordering the River Cam and the nearby Jesus College. Complete with an open-air swimming pool, skate park and tennis courts, it’s the perfect place for a leisurely stroll at any time of year. Any first time visitor to Cambridge should really take a walk, along the ‘Backs’ of the riverside colleges. And if you really want to get into the Cambridge spirit, hire a bike from one of the city’s many rental outlets and freewheel your way round this cycle-friendly city – take a ride across Parker’s Piece where the basic rules of the Football Association were devised in the nineteenth century, or stop off at the nearby Christ’s Pieces where you’ll find a rose garden commemorating Diana, Princess of Wales. You might even venture out of Cambridge to some of the beautiful areas of wooded parkland with picnic sites, way-marked walks and nature trails. Back in the city centre, the University Botanic Garden is a forty-acre oasis of beautifully landscaped grounds and glasshouses that is home to a huge diversity of plants, trees and bird life. You don’t have to stray far from the city to find a wealth of natural beauty and stunning gardens to enjoy. The nearby village of Grantchester is a fantastic destination for a short walk – beautiful meadows border the winding river as it flows from Byron’s Pool, named after the romantic poet who was once said to bathe there. And if you’ve worked up a thirst or an appetite, stop for refreshment at one of the local pubs or the famous Orchard Tea Rooms.

» CULTURE AND HERITAGE

History in the making… Cambridge has profoundly helped to shape the modern world, and there is a real sense of living history almost everywhere you look – as you might expect from a city whose University has produced fifteen former British Prime Ministers and eighty seven affiliates of the University who have won the Nobel Prize (more than any other single institution). History and environment are inseparable in Cambridge, from the descendant of the tree outside Trinity College that inspired Sir Isaac Newton to devise his theory of gravitation to The Eagle pub where Crick and Watson sketched out the structure of DNA on a napkin. Having recently celebrated its 800th year anniversary, the University of Cambridge is home to thirty-one autonomous colleges. Each has its own distinctive atmosphere and rich history to soak up and enjoy – from the medieval Peterhouse (the oldest, founded in 1284) to the twentieth-century Churchill College (founded in 1958 in honour of Britain’s famous war time Prime Minister). No trip would be complete without gazing upon the majestic King’s College Chapel– the picture postcard symbol of the city and its University that is known around the world. The Great Court at Trinity College, founded by the infamous Henry VIII, offers a scene that has remained virtually unchanged for centuries.

» CULTURE AND HERITAGE The most idyllic way to see the city has to be by drifting slowly down the River Cam on a punt – a flat-bottomed boat steered and powered by a pole. Once on board, you can see history pass before your eyes as you take in ‘The Backs’ of the Colleges and glide under the famous Bridge of Sighs (St John’s College) or the Mathematical Bridge (Queens’ College). Not forgetting Corpus Christi College founded by members of the Town Guilds of Corpus Christi and the Blessed Virgin Mary, the College houses a unique collection of Anglo-Saxon manuscripts. Old Court is the finest surviving early medieval court in Cambridge and famous members have included the dramatist Christopher Marlowe. To satisfy your thirst for culture, Cambridge has everything from paintings by Titian and Picasso through to World War II fighter planes, to fossils dating back 550 million years. Our museums house some of the most fascinating and diverse collections in the world – and best of all most are free to enter. There are exhibits to excite and inspire visitors of all ages and interests – you could wonder at treasures from the tombs of ancient Egypt in the Fitzwilliam, gaze upon a masterpiece by Rubens in Kings College Chapel, visit Concorde at The Imperial War Museum Duxford, take a trip to the North and South Poles at the Scott Polar Research Institute, and still have time to see the specimens that Darwin gathered on his famous trip on the Beagle at the Museum of Zoology. The world-famous Fitzwilliam Museum has been described as ‘the finest small museum in Europe’ and is an essential stop on any cultural itinerary of Cambridge. The diverse collection includes antiquities from ancient Egypt, Rome and Greece, illuminated manuscripts, armour and weaponry used by knights, as well as masterpieces by artists such as Canaletto, Cézanne, Renoir and Monet – a treasure trove not to be missed. For something completely different, try Kettle’s Yard – formerly the home of Jim Ede, a curator at the Tate Gallery, London, whose private art collection has been preserved and opened to the public in this beautiful house alongside his furniture and household objects. Just next door, is the Kettle’s Yard gallery of contemporary art, and just around the corner is the recently renovated Cambridge & County Folk Museum. Further a field, visitors to Cambridge are also spoilt for choice with beautiful stately homes such as Anglesey Abbey and Wimpole Hall and just 15 miles north of Cambridge is Ely, Britain’s second smallest city and home to an awe-inspiring cathedral dating back nearly one thousand years.

Explore and Enjoy South Cambridgeshire… Set in 350 square miles of fantastic cycling and walking countryside, the district of South Cambridgeshire offers the perfect opportunity to relax and explore. With its historic monuments, houses and museums set in the tranquil and rural landscape of rolling chalk hills covered with beech woods and flat fertile land, South Cambridgeshire provides a great location for everyone from the lively and adventurous to those who want to unwind and get away from it all. Eight miles south west of Cambridge, Wimpole Hall and Home Farm is Cambridgeshire’s largest stately home with eighteenth Century gardens designed by the famous historical gardener Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown. As well as its impressive grounds, Wimpole Hall is also home to a working farm where visitors can take part in a variety of activities such as grooming donkeys and ponies, collecting eggs and experiencing the wide range of pigs, sheep and cattle that live there. The Imperial War Museum Duxford is Europe’s premier aviation museum, offering visitors an array of the finest historic aircraft in seven acres of exhibition space. The summer months see the skies come alive with dramatic air displays. Take in a winery tour at Chilford Hall’s working vineyard, lying in 18 acres of rural countryside. East Anglia is one of England’s main wine-producing regions and the district boasts a number of vineyards. Vines have been growing here since Roman times, benefiting from long hours of sunshine and low rainfall. Not far from Chilford Hall, the award-winning Linton Zoo offers children and adults alike a wealth of rare and exotic creatures, while Shepreth Wildlife Park, just 8.7 miles south of Cambridge, houses a famous collection of wild and domestic animals. Travel north to Grantchester with its idyllic water meadows and The Orchard Tea Gardens, made famous by poet Rupert Brooke. Whether on a short break or an extended stay, you’ll find a warm welcome awaiting you at many friendly hotels and guesthouses – ideal bases from which to enjoy all that the region has to offer.

Ely

Saffron Walden

Bury St Edmunds

A day out in Newmarket

Located only 15 miles from Cambridge, Ely is a perfect one-day or short break destination. The first port of call for any visitor to Ely today will almost certainly be the cathedral. This imposing structure towers across the fens for miles around and is one of England’s most beautiful and largest Cathedrals. The cathedral is also home to the only national museum dedicated to stained glass.

Saffron Walden is a Medieval, rural market town of great charm, just 15 miles to the south of Cambridge, and easily reached by car or public transport. Audley End House, one of the finest Jacobean Mansions in the country, is situated 1 mile from Saffron Walden and is well worth combining with a visit to the town. It is open Wednesday to Sunday during the season. A market has been held here since 1141, market days are now Tuesdays and Saturdays. Beyond the market place, there are many independent shops and eating places to choose from. At the heart of the town lies St Mary’s Church. Fine examples of elaborate moulded plasterwork, can be seen on the Old Sun Inn and the houses in Castle Street and Bridge Street.

Just 30 minutes east of Cambridge you will find an historic town that has a delightful atmosphere all its own.

If it’s horses & horseracing you are interested in, then Newmarket is the place to visit! Home to over 2500 horses in training, most of whom are exercised each morning on the gallops at Newmarket’s Warren Hill, plus several hundred stud and pleasure horses. Horses really are the main feature in this unique market town. Other points of interest include the two racecourses; the famous Rowley Mile Racecourse, named after King Charles II’s favourite horse ‘Old Rowley’, and the July Course, where the oldest surviving race, the Newmarket Town Plate is still run every year in October. The governing body of horseracing, the Jockey Club, stands on the High Street with the statue of the Derby winner, Hyperion, at the front.

If it’s history you are interested in then Ely’s Museum, housed in the old Gaol, is an excellent place to start. Ely’s most famous historical resident was Oliver Cromwell and you can visit the family’s house, which now doubles as the local Tourist Information Centre. As you would perhaps expect from a place so attractive to tourists, there are many gift shops, craft shops, antique shops, art galleries and teashops. The City’s beautiful waterside hosts a variety of musical entertainment to suit all tastes. Ely is easily accessed by road via the A10 or A142 off the A14. There is also a centrally located railway station, with good links to the rest of the region.

Saffron Walden Museum is of particular interest. It has everything from mammoth tusks to mummies, and an early Tudor bed to a natural history gallery. In the grounds of the museum are the ruins of the Castle keep, which date back to the mid-1100s. Bridge End Garden is a restored Victorian garden of great charm on the north side of Saffron Walden and home to The hedge maze. The path into the garden passes the Fry Art Gallery which houses a collection of works by a Great Bardfield group of artists who settled in the Essex countryside in the 1930s. The Common is the oldest of Saffron Walden’s open spaces and on its eastern side is the largest turf labyrinth still surviving in Europe. Call 01799 524002 for further information and opening times of the above attractions, or see our website: www.visitsaffronwalden.gov.uk

Bury St Edmunds’ Medieval Abbey Gate, behind which stands the award winning Abbey Gardens, overlooks a beautiful square surrounded by splendid Georgian town houses, the newly crowned St Edmundsbury Cathedral, the Angel Hotel and Athenaeum. The square plays host to the hugely popular Christmas Fayre each November. From there it’s a short stroll into a cosmopolitan town centre. Famous name stores sit cheek by jowl with delightful independent shops and cafés galore, and every Wednesday and Saturday the town centre plays host to one of the largest street markets in East Anglia. With theatres, galleries and museums there is plenty to visit. For something a little different, Greene King Visitor Centre promises a warm Suffolk welcome and a chance to sample some of their famous ales! For further information telephone the Tourist Information Centre 01284 764667 or email tic@stedsbc.gov.uk; www.visit-burystedmunds.co.uk

Next to the Jockey Club is the Horse Racing Museum; a must-see for all visitors interested in horseracing. The museums’ collection tells the story of horseracing, and they hold varying art exhibitions as well as having a horse simulator. So while learning the history of the sport of Kings - why not try out your own riding abilities under the supervision of a retired jockey! The Horse-Racing Museum also organises regular tours of the town and yards. Newmarket also has a wide variety of restaurants and pubs, catering to all tastes and budgets. The town is also a popular place for shoppers, with popular high street names alongside independent boutiques and specialist shops. Newmarket also has a lively nightlife.
