Literary & historical expertise
Cambridge
Medieval colleges, hidden courtyards, the gorgeous river Cam — each with secrets only a local scholar can reveal.
Let me take you on a truly exceptional journey. On foot, or on a comfortable, slow-moving boat.
Just one hour from London by train, Cambridge has everything to charm you.
It's a gorgeous little city of quaint alleys, second-hand bookshops and magnificent architecture. It's one of the world's most renowned centres of learning, an education and research powerhouse that has shaken and shaped the world as we know it, again and again, over nearly a thousand years. It's also one of the UK's major economic hubs, with the country's biggest concentration of high-tech and bio-tech businesses.
Set on both banks of the gorgeous river Cam, Cambridge is easily walkable, and of course you have a plethora of boating options: from punting tours down the historic river with its magnificent palaces of learning, or up-river through glorious countryside, to trying your hand at rowing on the lower river.
Cambridge has catering and accommodation options to match every budget. Come and visit! The marvellous architecture, the traditions and amazing stories, will make you dream.
