I was pleased enough with my wonderful morning exploring Cambridge’s colleges and back streets, but little did I know that the best fun was yet to come. Without a doubt, punting down the River Cam is the best way to see the town, allowing you to peek into back gardens and admire the gorgeous architecture – all from the comfort of your seat!
Oxford may claim the title of dreaming spires, but after exploring Cambridge from land, stream and air, there’s no doubt in my mind that the university towns are equals when it comes to beauty. I arrived on a beautiful late spring Sunday with a few hours set aside to explore before a picnic with friends studying in the town. I was spoilt for choice of direction and ended up following my nose, with great success!
