Overview

If you are in London, Cambridge could be a perfect cultural day trip. It’s about 90 minutes only by private car from Hyde Park. Historic Cambridge city offers an immaculate British and Tudor experience. On the eastern bank of the Cam River, the town is mostly built round the Ouse tributary. Suburbs span the river, but modern development towards the west has largely been confined to university growth. You will walk and glide through the shady courts of the second oldest university in England. There are wonderfully plump raspberries leading down to the Cam River. Over the river is King's College Chapel, an imposing mass, a gemstone box that, on sunny mornings, shines in the colours of its remarkable glass windows, one of the great surviving Gothic buildings in Europe. By the Cam is one of Europe's finest library buildings, Trinity College Wren Library and many more. Let us take you to the heart of a real English tradition. Join us!
