Quite an ancient medieval town, Cambridge has a fair
amount of architectural evidence of old times. Amongst
the many options of how to spend a day in Cambridge, one
may wander amongst the ancient streets or relax in one
of the many gardens and parks or could take a punt up
and down the River Cam. If the thought of a day spent
punting appeals to you, then one can hire a punt or as
an alternative one can hire a chauffeured punt. And to
assist you with your punting are numerous small firms
offering this service along the River Cam. Otherwise a
cruise down the River Cam in a narrow boat is equally
exciting.
Churches
Cambridge has been a favoured place of worship a as
evidenced by the very many churches located in the city.
Almost thirteen churches are situated within the
city of Cambridge’s confines. Of all the 13 churches in
the centre of Cambridge, it is the All Saints Church
which is said to be one of the most incredible samples
of Gothic revival architecture to be found in the
country. Church of the Holy Sepulchre is a worth
mentioning church as it is one of only 4 round Norman
churches in England. The smallest of Cambridge’s
churches is the St Peter’s Church, which is hidden away
in a peaceful part of the town centre. Another church
which definitely deserves a mention is the Great St
Mary’s Church, the University church which provides the
most spectacular panoramic views of the city and
colleges of the University.
Accommodation in Cambridge
Here are some handy piece of advise looking forward
to a visit to Cambridge. Since it is nearly impossible
to view all of Cambridge in just twenty four hours,
therefore the advise is that you spend a minimum of
forty eight hours in Cambridge. If you and your family
are in the process of deciding upon spending a few weeks
in Cambridge it is incredibly important that you book
your accommodation as early as possible as, sadly hotels
in Cambridge tend to be surprisingly busy and are often
fully booked well in advance. Cambridge apartments are
always a cheaper option for those coming in large group
and for a longer stay.
