Visit Cambridgeshire and you’ll be exploring a stunning tapestry of expansive countryside, gently flowing rivers, imposing cathedrals, picturesque villages and busy market towns.
An Historical County
Bordered by Lincolnshire, Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex and Hertfordshire, Cambridgeshire is one of Britain’s most beautiful and historic counties. The county's attractions span the centuries, from Flag Fen, one of the UK’s oldest Neolithic settlements, to the hustle and bustle of the Cambridge Corn Exchange, which is used as an entertainment venue and plays host to some of the biggest names in music and comedy.
Attractions and Restaurants
There’s plenty for families with children to see and do, such as the Sedgwick Museum of Earth Sciences, Peterborough Lido and the fascinating world of the Raptor Foundation. In addition to attractions, you’ll also find that Cambridgeshire has become something of a gastronomic hotspot. Be sure to look up 'Il Piccolo Mondo' in the charming village of Bottisham, and the Michelin-starred 'Restaurant Alimentum' in Cambridge. If you’ prefer something a little less formal, head for The Queen’s Head in Newton, a quintessentially English 'olde worlde' watering hole, complete with stone floors, a roaring fire and antlers decorating the walls.
Shopping
Cambridgeshire is a curious mix of ancient and modern, full of remote and virtually-unchanged villages and high-tech business parks. However, if you have dedicated shoppers in your group then the Grafton Shopping Centre in Cambridge is ideal, boasting everything from small and quirky boutiques to sleek designer stores.
Cambridgeshire may well be one of England’s oldest counties, but there is an incredible amount to see, do and experience.
