Botanical garden

Gardens
Cambridge University Botanic Garden is a 40-acre expanse of gardens and plants that attracts families and couples. The city's beauty is further enhanced by various open spaces, including the University Botanic Gardens, which have been extensively developed and improved. The Backs, a series of landscaped lawns and gardens along the River Cam behind the main line of colleges, adds to the charm. Additionally, visitors can explore Kings Parade with its attractive shops facing Kings College and its chapel.
We love botanical gardens when we travel. This is my highest recommendation for a visit. The atmosphere and garden itself is emasculate, beautiful and pristine. One of the best £8 you could spend for a day or even hour stop. Nice staff, good food, well maintained. Would definitely go back, you can get lost in the vast beauty of each section for hours!

A tranquil botanic gem in a busy city! An extraordinary garden of plants with some beautiful tree species. Easily accessed via the Park and Ride there's room to explore, learn or just sit and relax. Add to this a cafe with great coffee and the biggest croissants I've ever seen thanks to Stir Bakery, it's a wonderful day out.

I recently visited the Cambridge University Botanic Garden in the evening, and it was one of the most peaceful experiences I’ve had in the city. The atmosphere was calm, quiet, and perfect for simply being yourself. Unlike many crowded spots, here you can slow down, breathe, and enjoy nature at your own pace. The garden is beautifully maintained with a huge variety of plants and trees from different parts of the world. Each plant is labelled with its scientific name, which makes the walk not only relaxing but also quite educational. I found it fascinating to see species that I would otherwise never come across. Whether you are someone who enjoys botany or just loves greenery, the diversity on display is impressive. What I especially liked about visiting in the evening was how tranquil it felt. The soft light made the colours of the plants stand out, and the paths were quiet enough to just reflect, think, or simply sit in peace. It’s the kind of place where you can take a slow stroll, spend time with yourself, or even bring a book and read under the trees. Overall, a must-visit in Cambridge for anyone who wants to escape the noise of the city and connect with nature.

The Botanical Gardens are always lovely any time of year. They are great value for money and very family friendly as they always have free activities for children and there is no charge for them to enter. Lots of lovely plants and different areas from the greenhouses to winter gardens. Only negative points...the food is very expensive and wasn't particularly good (a very bland salad today...apparently it was supposed to have raisins in...I got one! At £6 a bowl I expected flavour and *gasp* a dressing). The other is parking. Not the gardens fault, but there isn't any. This is particularly difficult for disabled people. You can park for 3 hours but that's very little time to visit given the extra time and effort it takes with a disability. There are NO disabled spaces and the pavement is is dangerous for either a mobility scooter or walking aid users. The Council needs to revaluate this! Also wish they'd keep the shop open till 5pm so you can buy stuff on the way out! They are missing a trick there.

I absolutely loved visiting the Cambridge Botanical Garden! It’s such a peaceful and beautiful place — full of colours, calm corners, and the gentle energy of nature. I could have spent hours just walking around and watching the flowers and trees. The glasshouses are amazing too! A truly magical spot to relax and feel inspired.
Elena R — Google review
I had a lovely visit! It was a quiet Monday, and pleasant even with intermittent showers. It’s a good size - not overwhelmingly big (I found Kew too big for one day). The glass houses were a particular highlight but lots of other lovely areas like the herbaceous borders and the scented garden. The Rising Path was informative. I enjoyed a salad and drink for lunch at the cafe, which wasn’t busy. If you buy a ticket, you can leave and come in again on the same day which I did and was handy for me. I’ll definitely come again!
Olivia K — Google review
This is a magical destination, especially for those who love plants. Despite visiting on a weekday, there was a decent crowd, but it never felt overwhelming. There is so much to see in terms of plant life, and we were lucky enough to catch a glimpse of a banana tree in bloom. We were also grateful for the fully-stocked cafe, which provided much-needed cool drinks on a warm day.
G S — Google review
We went there with family and we had a good time. Great place to visit when it’s not raining. To be honest it was one level of lower than my expectations also tickets could be £5 for adults , that would be much reasonable price rather than £8 . Free for children. Also for that large land scape they could do much activity for kids. But end of the our visit we left with positive feelings. Worth to visit.

Art Museums
The Fitzwilliam Museum, located on Trumpington Street in Cambridge, is a renowned destination for art and history enthusiasts. Established in 1816, the museum boasts an extensive collection of classical art and artifacts from various cultures. Visitors can explore Asian ceramics, armor, coins, paintings, and archaeological remains such as a Roman Swiss army knife and a colorful 3000-year-old Nespawershefyt coffin from Egypt.
Visiting the Museum right as it opened was a fantastic idea. We had many of the galleries to ourselves, which made the experience even more special. The collection is incredibly diverse, spanning from ancient Egyptian artifacts to masterpieces by famous painters. The building itself is a work of art, and it's a great place to spend a few hours exploring history and culture. Best of all, it's free to enter!
G S — Google review
The Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge is truly a gem—and completely free! Founded in 1816 from the personal collection of Richard Fitzwilliam, it has grown into a world-class museum with stunning collections of art, antiquities, manuscripts, and decorative arts. The building itself is beautiful, with grand galleries and a light-filled central hall. Highlights include works by Turner, Monet, and Van Dyck, as well as fascinating Egyptian, Greek, and Roman artifacts. Every corner has something to surprise you, from delicate miniatures to imposing sculptures. Whether you’re an art lover, history enthusiast, or just curious, it’s easy to spend hours exploring. A perfect cultural stop in Cambridge, and a must-see for both locals and visitors.
Olga L — Google review
This is a fantastic museum and if you’re interested in art, it would be a reason enough to come to Cambridge, even if you have nothing else while you’re here. There’s a lot of nice impressionist paintings as well as other realist and pointillism from around the same time. As you could see in the photos, the Holdings for armory, Greek, Roman, Egyptian, ceramics are very extensive. I’ve got a big gift shop in a very nice little café on site as well. It’s really nice.
Lon W — Google review
A true oasis of culture and beauty in the heart of Cambridge. Whenever I have a bit of time I like to walk in and get a good dose of inspiration. The museum never disappoints. The staff are lovely, helpful and friendly. I like the new, more modern display mixing various periods under different themes, it's refreshing. There are always fascinating temporary exhibitions too. The café and gift shop are also excellent. All in all, the Fitzwilliam museum is a must if you have more than several hours in Cambridge.
Silvana A — Google review
Very nice museum with a lots of different arts displayed from various era and places. If you like arts your place is here when you visiting Cambridge. The entry was free, the staff was polite and helpful all the way. Please make a note turn off your phone flash as it harms the the displayed arts. The staff also will ask you politely. You can take many photos as you want. Very diverse and nice collection. Recommended to visit it. I post pictures from my favourite part the armory.

now write me a short review of my trip to the fitzwilliam museum in Cambridge England. The visit to the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge was a captivating exploration of art and history, offering an impressive collection that spans centuries and cultures. Highlights included the museum’s exquisite paintings and finely curated artifacts, each thoughtfully presented to tell its own unique story. The blend of classical and contemporary works created a rich, immersive experience, making the Fitzwilliam a must-visit destination for anyone interested in art, archaeology, and cultural heritage in a beautifully historic setting.

We only had time to visit the main museum but were not disappointed, some great pieces very nicely and clearly displayed. The building itself is simply stunning
Ady F — Google review
Popped in for a few hours before my train, so unfortunately didn't get to see everything, but what I did see was impressive. There is definitely something for everyone here, with artifacts seemingly from all over the world, and from every time period, even some modern works of art. I particularly enjoyed the armory room, seeing all the weapons and armour is right up my street. The piece that struck me most was a firearm that was also an axe! I also really enjoyed seeing some of the old Chinese dynasties pottery, given how old it is and that other ancient cultures usually take the limelight, some artifacts were over 3000 years old! Definitely one to revisit and see what I missed the first time round!

Nestled in the vibrant city of Cambridge, the Cambridge Science Centre is a treasure trove for young minds eager to explore the wonders of science and technology. This interactive hub offers a plethora of hands-on exhibitions, engaging workshops, and captivating shows that celebrate STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics). Designed to inspire curiosity and ignite a passion for discovery among children and young adults alike, visitors can dive into various activities that delve into topics like human anatomy or even inventing their own planets.
Tons of fun and education for all ages. Absolutely bargain as well. £7.50 for a whole year for younger kids, £15 for older ones. We spent two hours there easily and no one was bored.

Overpriced and underwhelming. Paid £85 for a family of five and were shocked at how small and limited the space was — not enough to keep older kids engaged. Most exhibits felt basic and aimed at very young children. On top of that, the booking process was frustrating, requiring us to enter phone numbers and email addresses for each child, which felt totally unnecessary. Overall, not worth the time or money.

Have to buy a year's membership £35 x 2, plus £50 for the kids, can only then check if there is a space available. Not going to happen folks!

The Sedgwick Museum of Earth Sciences, located on Downing Street, is the oldest museum in the city and houses a diverse collection of rocks, fossils, and preserved creatures. Notable exhibits include an Iguanodon skeleton, ichthyosaur skeletons purchased from Mary Anning by Adam Sedgwick, and local finds such as prehistoric bones from various time periods. The museum takes visitors on a journey through 4.
This is a great museum, with free entry. It is spread out over one large floor, which is divided into separate sections. There are lots of fossils and preserved creatures, as well as lots display cabinets. There are plenty of posters offering information, as well as many interactive screens. Due to this being one of the smaller museums in Cambridge, I found it much easier to walk around and actually learn things. There are some great displays throughout the museum, as well as a nice little gift shop. Worth a visit and a great place to spend a few hours.
Tintin — Google review
A highly educational and fascinating museum that charts millions of years of history encapsulated in a collection that's sure to open up the brain matter of how the world we live in was shaped and formed through the ages. If you are a keen student of history then there's plenty here to absorb and all of it is detailed down to the last detail which helps greatly to give an idea of how practically everything on earth evolved over time up till now. Entry is free and the museum is a fantastic place to visit if you're an educational institution or you just have a vested interest in world history. Definitely worth a visit.

I recently visited the Sedgwick Museum of Earth Sciences for the first time. Located on Downing Street in central Cambridge, it’s the oldest science museum at the University of Cambridge.

Fascinating museum, specially for fans of Geology and Paleontology. Among its standouts are the impressive dinosaur skeletons, including the towering iguanodon and the skull of the tyrannosaurus Rex. There's also a beautifully preserved Plesiosaur fossil. Make sure not to miss the reconstruction of Darwin's Cabin from the Voyage of the HMS Beagle.

The University Museum of Zoology is a fascinating destination for animal enthusiasts, housing an impressive collection of 2 million zoological specimens. The museum's exhibits showcase the stunning diversity of the animal kingdom, featuring rare finds such as a complete dodo skeleton and a goblin shark that resides 1300m below sea level. Visitors can also marvel at a Komodo dragon, manatees, mammoths, and Charles Darwin's beetle box.
Besides soaking in the historic university atmosphere of the world renowned University of Cambridge, I had to take the opportunity to enrich my cultural knowledge along the way. Museum of Zoology – The University of Cambridge’s Zoology Museum. No tickets or bookings needed. The museum’s not huge, but it houses a large collection of animal specimens and displays a variety of animal fossils. It’s a great place to take kids to learn about different species and animal evolution.

King's College Chapel is a stunning example of late Gothic architecture located in the heart of Cambridge. This 16th-century chapel boasts an impressive fan-vaulted ceiling, intricate wood carvings, and original stained-glass windows. It took nearly a century to complete this monumental structure, which was founded by Henry VI and later finished by five English monarchs. The chapel's history includes being spared during the English Civil War due to Oliver Cromwell's nostalgia for his college days.
King’s College Chapel is a breathtaking masterpiece of Gothic architecture and one of the most iconic landmarks in Cambridge. With its soaring fan-vaulted ceiling—the largest of its kind in the world—and stunning stained-glass windows, the chapel creates an atmosphere of awe and reverence. Visitors are often struck by the serene beauty and historical richness of the space. Commissioned by King Henry VI in the 15th century, the chapel has witnessed centuries of history and royal influence. Its grand organ and regular choral services, especially those by the King’s College Choir, add a deeply moving auditory experience to the visit. Whether you’re drawn by the architecture, the music, or the legacy, King’s College Chapel is a must-see for anyone exploring Cambridge.

Words are wasted here - one of the finest monuments to Perpendicular architecture anywhere. Go in, have your breath taken away, admire the paintings, and try and keep your heart in your chest. The fan vaulting is like no other. Pick a sunny, still day, and approach the college from the Backs, the classic side - you avoid the tourists, feel more like a student 😉 And when you are done, take some time sitting on the Backs, and appreciate that Rupert Brooke and others used to punt to here from Grantchester for their lectures. I'm guessing (hoping?) in straw boaters

Indeed a very very special place. We were lucky that a former student has shown us this area. With all the details and historical parts of the Kings college chapel. All these details are so special that you need to take the time to observe all the details of this chapel. The colors, the building architecture in relation with the stories is amazing. You can easily enter this chapel via the main entrance of the Kings College. Please do vist the total area which is amazing and combine this visit with the other College areas in Caimbridge.

There is a reason this is a must stop. The ceiling alone was worth the price of admission. The stain glass work was very human. It needs renovation. They seemed to admire the "modern man" in several panels which caught my attention. Yes, all the tourists stop here. . .for a reason.

Visited for organ recital and evensong which is a good way to visit a chapel and spend some quiet time to admire the architecture. Both exterior and interior are stunning. There is no charge to visit a chapel if you come for church service. Otherwise the college has quite pricey sightseeing ticket.

The Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, located on Downing Street, offers a diverse collection of ethnographic objects spanning human history. Visitors can explore artifacts such as Samurai armor, 500-year-old potatoes, totem poles, teapots, and more. The museum showcases local finds like the Arbury Coffin containing a 4th century Roman woman and the Trumpington Cross from an Anglo-Saxon burial.
Love this wonderful place, accessible in all ways, humorous , staff are lovely and it's great free resource. If you are in the area, shopping or having lunch and cocktails go and have a mooch round. Make sure you see the rude pot description, giggling is accepted! There are a multitude of really interesting artifacts.

This museum is a bit of a hidden gem really. It's quite an unassuming building from the outside, but is surprisingly large inside, with 3 floors. Entry is free. It's an interestingly-designed building, with the first floor being visible from the second floor. This means that some of the larger and taller pieces (such as the impressive totem pole) within the museum can be seen from a height, which offers a different perspective. There are some great artefacts on display here, and a wide range of cultures and countries are represented. There is also plenty of information to read and learn from. The atmosphere inside the museum is quiet and relaxed. There are customer toilets on a few of the floors, and there is also a great gift shop on the ground floor. The staff member working there was very friendly and happy to help. It's a really good museum and totally worth visiting.

Truly great seeing so much of so many cultures in one place. Great to learn so much. I was happy to see the Goddess Durga murti (statue) was commissioned and not something 'collected' way back in the day. Though I do wish it was placed in a better position and not in such a corner of the museum.

We went looking for the Sedqwick Museum of Earth Sciences and found this too. It is actually at the opposite side of that museum at the arched gate. If you go right instead of left, you will find the door to the Museum of Archeology and Anthropology. This is also free to the public and consists of a few floors of exhibits. When you come in, you will be greeted by a receptionist who will explain what you will see. The store is also there for you to purchase any nice trinkets for home. On the first floor is an introduction to the 2 sciences and local historic finds in Cambridge. The second and third floors are an open concept display. The reason for this is the huge totem which reaches to the ceiling. The exhibits are broken down by country or group of people. Take your time as you could easily miss the smallest of details. On the lower floor, are more complete collections. You will also find the larger displays here since it is an open floor. Please be aware there are some displays that contain nudity. This is actually normal for anthropology studies, so don’t be too shocked by this. It is a great learning experience to see how other cultures live, not our own. On the upper floor we found makeshift displays so you can see some of the items in storage. There are also more regular displays for review. They also have murals and graffiti on the walls that are called ‘People and Stuff, a subversive collaboration.’ See what was and what is for our humanity as a whole. Maybe discover what will be as well from learning the past.

If you're looking for a place where you can immerse yourself in the diversity of cultures and history, the Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology in Cambridge is an excellent choice. Although relatively small, the museum impresses with the richness of its exhibits – from prehistoric tools to art from Oceania and Africa, as well as fascinating everyday objects from around the world. The exhibitions are very well organized and clearly described, making even a short visit (about 1–2 hours) both informative and enjoyable. Special highlights include artifacts related to James Cook’s voyages and collections from indigenous cultures. The museum is particularly family-friendly – many exhibits spark children's imagination, and the peaceful atmosphere encourages exploration. Another great advantage is that admission is free, and its location in the center of Cambridge makes it easily accessible during a stroll around the city. The friendly and helpful staff further enhance the experience, often sharing additional interesting facts. In summary – this is definitely a place worth visiting, whether you are a history enthusiast, a travel lover, or simply looking for an inspiring stop in the heart of Cambridge.

Friendly museum with a diverse range of artifacts to explore. Treasure hunt sheets available to give kids a challenge. Split over three floors with different themes in each part. Free entry.

Another free museum that offers up history through the perspective of various ancient and not so ancient civilisations across the spectrum of time. The museum covers the ground floor and the upstairs floor, with the latter being the most fascinating as there is a wealth of artifacts from some of the oldest countries on earth and it's always a pleasure to consume knowledge about the everyday lives of different civilisations scattered across the earth. There is a very pleasant and relaxed atmosphere about this museum so you can take your time and absorb all there is to see here so definitely make a beeline for it if you happen to be in Cambridge and are looking for things to see or do.

A fascinating glimpse into human history, from ancient tools to striking ethnographic collections. The exhibits are well-curated and thought-provoking, highlighting both local discoveries and artifacts from around the world. It’s compact enough to explore in an hour or two, yet rich in detail — a hidden gem for anyone curious about our shared past.

Clip 'n Climb Cambridge is an indoor climbing center located in the heart of Cambridge, offering a unique and exciting experience for climbers of all ages. The facility provides a safe and fun environment for children as young as four to participate in thrilling climbing activities. Prior to the climb, participants receive a 30-minute safety briefing and are fitted with harnesses for 55 minutes of climbing fun. This family-friendly adventure is perfect for a day out with kids, providing an action-packed and exhilarating experience.
Had a really great time - we came along late afternoon/evening, as we were two adults and didn't want to get in the way of the kids, and it had definitely quietened down. Had a lot of fun, there were different levels of difficulty for each of the climbing sections to keep it interesting for different abilities.

My son goes there every week, and he likes the place a lot. As a mom I myself have no experiences of climbing, but their staff team is great!

This place is amazing! I took my 3 year old son to a Little Rockers session for the first time today and it was brilliant. The staff were all friendly and helpful.

We will definitely be going back!

My kids enjoy coming here. However, the staff on reception and those at the café really need better people skills. Also, if you're trying to sell the products in your cafe, you might want to employ staff who actually want to make a sale and who don't act like they're the ones doing you a favour. However, the staff in the climbing area are always great and super helpful. They encourage children and they are the reason we return.

Trinity College, a prestigious academic institution founded by King Henry VIII in 1546, is the largest college in Cambridge. Its grand gothic architecture surrounds a vast courtyard and includes the famous Wren Library, home to original works by Shakespeare, Newton, and Swift. Visitors can admire the monumental Tudor gateway with its statue of Henry VIII and explore the college's exterior from a punt on the River Cam if interior access is restricted.
Trinity College in Cambridge is an absolute masterpiece, both historically and architecturally. The grandeur of the Great Court alone is enough to take your breath away; it's one of the largest enclosed courts in Europe, and its sheer scale makes you feel part of something monumental. Founded by Henry VIII in 1546, the college is steeped in history, and you can feel it in every stone. The chapel, library, and gardens all add to Trinity's charm, offering a serene escape from the bustling city just outside. The college’s list of alumni speaks for itself: from Newton to Byron to Turing, you’re surrounded by a legacy of minds that changed the world. Definitely recommend 👌.

Walking into Trinity College felt like stepping straight into a history book — the courtyards are massive and perfectly maintained, and there’s a calm, timeless vibe everywhere. What really makes this place special though is the Wren Library. I didn’t expect to be as impressed as I was, but it turned out to be one of the absolute highlights of my day in Cambridge. The library itself isn’t huge, but the moment you walk in and see that sunlight pouring through the high windows, lighting up those old wooden shelves and glass cases — it’s magic. They’ve got some incredible manuscripts on display, like Isaac Newton’s notebooks and handwritten work by Milton. It’s all real, original stuff just sitting right there in front of you. No photos allowed inside, which I actually liked — it forces you to slow down and take it in properly. Also, the college backs onto the River Cam, and if you walk around to The Backs, the view from there is just beautiful — a perfect spot to rest for a bit before exploring more. Trinity felt more “lived-in” than some of the other colleges, and somehow more welcoming too. Definitely worth seeing, especially if you’re into literature, science, or just appreciate beautiful places.

If you want to visit, try to go along a student from the city, it is mostly mandatory in order to gain access to this gem. This time in the Trinity College, the top college for quantitative methods in all Cambridge network (from what you hear, don’t take my word as the pure truth), has a small tree outside that people say it was were Newton was hit by the famous apple 🍎. One interesting thing is that a few months ago, they had an exposition of the unpublished letters of Oppenheimer with the Dean, professors and some personal items. The library is open from reduced hours and they have a ghost in their Antechapel.

Sahitya — Google review
“An excellent guided tour of one of Cambridge’s most magnificent colleges. The porter was knowledgeable and engaging, with plenty of stories about Newton, Byron and the Great Court Run. Strangely, however, the narrative skips lightly over some rather well-known 20th-century alumni who made headlines of a very different sort. Evidently, that chapter isn’t part of the official tour — which is a pity, because I suspect visitors might find it just as fascinating as Newton’s apple. It would show real moral courage for the College to face its whole past, not just the admirable parts. A college of such stature has little to lose — and much to gain — by telling the whole story.”

The Scott Polar Research Institute (Polar Museum) is housed in a historic building on Lensfield Road and offers a captivating look into the exploration of the Earth's polar regions. Visitors can explore exhibits and artifacts related to British polar exploration, including documents, photographs, and equipment from famous expeditions. The museum also features an impressive collection of art depicting polar exploration. It's a great place for families to spark an interest in science while learning about the Arctic and Antarctica.
Bring your parkas and your old world maps because you’ll be immersing yourself into a world of exploration into cold places. Brace yourself - the stories of bravery and mankind’s resilience is encouraging, but our advances do come with great sacrifice at times. May God bless the explorers who’ve laid the foundation for our current realities. May God bless us - one and all - especially the poor in spirit. ❤️ PS - it’s free (though donations are welcome)!

It covers everything about life in the polar regions, from indigenous communities to heroic (and sometimes tragic) expeditions. It's not a large space but it's incredibly well put together. Make sure not to miss the polar- themed paintings at the back. Worth taking a moment to contemplate. It's free to enter.

Unless you are super interested in the Arctic, I wouldn’t make it a priority to come to this museum. But if you’re gonna be in this part of Cambridge anyway, and you have a little bit of free time, it’s a nice addition.

Loved this park. Lots to see and do. Clean and well looked after. Very cycle friendly. The café was expensive, but expected. We brought a picnic with us. Dog friendly. There is a large play area with a zip wire, lots of climbing areas, and slides. Big fields to play football in. There are lots of trails for walks, our kids loved the forest. Will be back if in the area again.

A very good place to visit, lots to see and do, and teaming with wildlife. There are plenty of places to have a picnic. I found it easy to push my mothers wheelchair around, with most areas accessable. My only gripe is that the so-called free parking is so hard to negotiate, the system kept coming up with, system full. So I ended up buying a ticket, which is very frustrating 🙃. Anyway, don't let that put you off from going.

This was my first visit, and I was genuinely impressed by how beautiful and scenic the area is. The views of the lakes are absolutely breathtaking, and the variety of wildlife makes it even more special — I spotted cormorants, swans, moorhens, and ducks during my walk. I really enjoyed the range of walking trails available, which cater to different distances and fitness levels. Along the way, it was great to see other visitors enjoying outdoor activities like cycling, paddle boarding, and even laser tag — there’s something for everyone here. I stopped for a coffee break at the lovely cabin overlooking the lake, which added to the experience. The atmosphere was calm and refreshing, perfect for relaxing and taking in the surroundings.

It's a lovely country park with plenty to do. There is a good playground for kids, but they have now introduced other activities such as axe throwing. The walks around the lakes are lovely and mainly crushed stone or dried mud. Wear wellies in winter or after rain if you want to walk around the lakes. Parking is a few pounds for a couple of hours and then there is a day rate. I'd rather pay for parking and have nice facilities.

Nestled in the heart of Cambridge, the Whipple Museum of the History of Science is a treasure trove for anyone fascinated by scientific heritage. Established with a remarkable collection donated by Robert Stuart Whipple in 1944, this museum showcases an impressive array of scientific instruments, models, photographs, and literature that span from medieval times to modernity. The focus is particularly strong on artifacts from the 17th to 19th centuries, highlighting the craftsmanship of English instrument makers.
This is a most amazing museum! Scientific instruments include Charles Darwin's microscope, tiny brain saws, and orreries from the Victorian and Edwardian eras. Children's scientific toys from the 1920s ("Every Boy and Girl a Scientist" on the cover of one!) are fascinating. The set-up of the museum is awesome - the old hall, the cases... This is a small museum so packed with fascinating items that it took us two trips to see it all!!

If you're a science aficionado then you'll be right at home here as even with its modest size, the museum packs in a breadth of information concerning the marriage of history and science. The ground floor consists of a myriad of artifacts that have played a key role in shaping the history of science and how that was and continues to be applied to the technology we have today. The most fascinating part of the museum happens to be on the first floor, with a completely decked out Victorian living room that really gives you an idea of how science moulded the every day living space - despite the limitations back then. There's also a section about globes which I found to be rather interesting. The whole museum is free to visit so definitely visit here and take in all there is to see here - you won't be disappointed.

Love the interior style and the items they display at this museum. There are two floors, the first floor has a hall, a hallway, and a chamber for exhibiting both vintage and modern technology items. The chamber upstairs is for showing different globes that were made throughout time and from different countries. This museum is mostly concentrated on showing astrology-related items, such as telescopes, globes, etc, but they also have more than that, such as films, microscopes, calculates, pocket watches, etc. It is a very educational place, and friendly for both astronomy amateurs and students.

The Museum of Cambridge, also known as the Cambridge and County Folk Museum, is a charming 17th-century timber-framed museum located on Northampton Street. Housed in a former coaching inn, this Grade II listed building showcases over 20,000 objects that depict the history and heritage of Cambridge and Cambridgeshire over 300 years. Unlike the town's prestigious colleges and antiquated buildings, this museum focuses on the everyday life, customs, and traditions of local people.

write me a short review of the museum of Cambridge in Cambridge England. it's an interesting walk through the history of Cambridge through a variety of everyday artifacts from the past The Museum of Cambridge offers a fascinating glimpse into the city’s rich everyday history, showcasing how local people once lived, worked, and played. Set in a charming 17th-century timber-framed building, the museum presents a wide variety of artifacts. From household items to tools and toys that bring the daily lives of past generations vividly to life.

When I visit a city I try to find a local museum that tells the story about the local history. I have mixed feelings about this one. I loved the house, the different rooms, and thinking about all the people who may have spent time in them over the years. The artifacts though seemed to be just a random collection of items from the past 100 years or so that had no connection to Cambridge. It was neat to see them, but I didn’t walk out with any more knowledge about Cambridge than I did when I walked in. The £6 entry fee seemed OK on the way in but seemed a bit high afterwards. What I found even more annoying though while I was walking around were the “certificates of adoption” hanging on some of the items - they indicate that someone “adopted” the item and made a contribution. I doubt the money is being used to upkeep that specific item and they detracted from the item - and seemed to be more of a “look at me” thing.

A good variety of exhibitions items. The Windrush was particularly relevant to me being of Caribbean descent.

My partner and I had an amazing time in this lovely little museum! We were visiting Cambridge for the day so I can only imagine the impact it would have had on those who are local or more familiar than we were. The entrance fee was £7 and we certainly got our moneys worth, spending around 2 hours in the museum despite there only being 9 rooms to explore. There’s so many little nooks and crannies with details about real people and the lives of the regular man. We had such a brilliant time, and the lady who was at the desk was so informative and helpful. I highly highly recommend!

This museum is surrounded by Kettle's Yard. It has a big sign on the wall facing Northampton Street, but nothing much on Castle Street, where the entrance is. The sign looks like it was painted on the wall a century ago, and somehow doesn't communicate the fact that this is, in fact, operating today. The building is a former inn. It has a lot of exhibits of the sorts of things one would find in an inn over the 400 years of its existence. Although the exhibits are largely household items, they are sufficiently old that an old person like me doesn't immediately think "Oh, we had one of those when I was growing up." This is not the Fitzwilliam Museum, but it's quaint and quirky and well worth a visit on a rainy day. The staff are volunteers and are friendly and knowledgeable (based on a limited sample). I visited because I wanted to find out more about the history of the town. There is some of this (including about the settlement that was close to the museum in Roman times), but this is not its strength. You have to pay, but the cost is modest for what you get.

Fitzbillies is a classic bakery and cafe in Cambridge, known for its traditional pastries and artisan coffee. It's a popular spot for East Anglian fare, offering delicious Chelsea Buns that come highly recommended by locals and even Stephen Fry. The cafe specializes in Traditional Afternoon Tea, making all the bread for finger sandwiches, sultana scones, and mini cakes in their own artisan bakery.
We had the original Chelsea bun, and it met expectations. It was warm, fresh and had lots of small raisins in it. Service was quick, and the lady at the counter was the sweetest. Also not too pricey considering the touristy location, and the cafe’s popularity.

Nice - pretty typical modern day cafe come cake shop. And while the Chelsea buns may have the same recipe, the way the sugar coating is done nowadays is just not what it was. Fairly average coffee too by modern day standards. Still 4 stars though because I am a picky so and so and you may well find coffee and buns are splendid!

A charming and bustling bakery in Cambridge, best known for its famous Chelsea buns. I ordered a sultana raisin scone served with jam and clotted cream, along with a cup of coffee. The scone was beautifully crisp on the outside, while the cream was rich and indulgent — absolutely delicious. I shared a few Chelsea buns with my friends, and they were every bit as good as their reputation. Although the café was busy, we were pleasantly surprised by how quickly we were served. The lively atmosphere made it the perfect place to enjoy good conversation over excellent pastries. A must-visit spot when in Cambridge.

We visited Fitzbillies on a busy Sunday afternoon — it was packed (as expected!) but we managed to get a table without too much waiting. The ordering system is done through your phone, which was convenient overall, though one of the hot drinks was a bit tricky to find on the menu. Of course, we had to try the famous Chelsea bun, and it didn’t disappoint — beautifully sticky, sweet, and rich. They even provided extra golden syrup to pour on top, which was a nice touch. The cappuccino looked great and was well presented, though it could’ve had a bit more depth of flavour. We also had a savoury snack of whipped feta and chickpeas, this was nice but 4 crackers was not enough. The staff were friendly and attentive, even with how busy it was. Overall, a good experience and definitely worth a visit if you’re in Cambridge — especially for the Chelsea bun!

The cinnamon bun at Fitzbillies is absolutely divine—soft, rich, and bursting with flavor. The café has a warm, welcoming vibe, and the display of fresh pastries is irresistible. A must-visit spot for anyone who loves classic, indulgent baked goods!

Came here to check out the iconic Chelsea buns. They were great and lived up to its expectations. Others may find it too sweet for them, but I think it’s a matter of preference and I can appreciate it! We then saw they did afternoon tea, so we tried it: Sandwiches were poor and lacked flavour. Scones were huge (easy split 1 between the 3 of us), and the jam was great. Red velvet cake was amazing. Others were average. Service was really friendly but completely disorganised. Asked for water but never came (mistakes happen, so it’s ok). But while a male waiter was bringing in loads of fresh cutlery, he kept lobbing it in their containers and was constantly making ridiculous amounts of noise. No music was playing and generally the cafe was extremely noisy, given that it wasn’t very busy. Atmosphere was nonexistent. I recommend purchasing your Chelsea buns (as they are worth it) from the bakery beside to takeaway and avoid the cafe. You are not missing much. Value is also on the high side for the quality.
Jeremy O — Google review
After reading many articles mentioning the Chelsea bun is a must have in Cambridge, I was determined to try it before leaving town. I bought some as take away. When I took a bite into the bun moments later, I was utterly disappointed. It was dry and nothing extraordinary. I am not sure what all the hype is about. It was way below my expectations. Only saving grace was the friendly staff I encountered.
J K — Google review
We honestly do not understand how this chain can be so busy, since their flagship pastry is a bun with disappointing hints of whatever flavour they promise. We would not be trying this again. It might be catering for the English palette. The interior design is as dull as they come. The only positive is the generally friendly staff.

Cambridge Market Square is a historic outdoor market that has been a central gathering place for locals since medieval times. It offers a wide variety of goods, including gourmet food stalls, fresh produce, herbs and spices, preserves, oils, condiments, and locally made crafts. The market reflects the city's vibrant multicultural community with its diverse range of offerings from around the world.
Cambridge Market Square truly offers a delightful experience, and I was particularly pleased to discover the abundance of halal food options available – a welcome surprise, as such choices often feel limited elsewhere. Beyond the wonderful food, the market is a vibrant hub brimming with diverse offerings. From unique retro clothing finds and stylish hats to eye-catching jewelry, there's something to capture every interest. The tempting array of desserts and sweets is hard to resist, and the stalls overflowing with fresh, colorful fruits and vegetables are a testament to the local produce. In short, Cambridge Market Square really does seem to have it all!
Mohammed A — Google review
I found Cambridge Market Square underwhelming. For such a historic and vibrant city, I expected something more distinctive and rooted in the local culture. Instead, the stalls felt generic, selling things that could be found in almost any market elsewhere. There wasn’t much that felt uniquely “Cambridge” about it. The food options were particularly disappointing. Nothing stood out as something I’d want to try again, and the prices were on the high side for what was being offered. I wouldn’t really choose to eat there, especially when there are so many better places around the city. Overall, the market lacks character and originality. It doesn’t showcase local produce, crafts, or specialties in a way that would make it worth visiting. Honestly, there’s nothing that makes it feel like a must-see in Cambridge—it could just as easily be anywhere else.

Cambridge Market Place is a treasure trove of diversity and delight! With a vast array of shops selling everything from quirky souvenirs to mouth-watering dishes from around the world, you'll find something to suit every taste and interest. And if you're looking for fresh produce, you'll be spoiled for choice. A must-visit destination for anyone looking to experience the best of Cambridge's culture, food, and shopping - you won't be disappointed!

Cambridge is a market city, and stalls have been trading at the historic market square in the city centre since the middle ages.

There weren’t as many stalls as I expected, to be honest. It’s quite small even smaller than some neighborhood markets back in Turkey. But we got lucky and found a Turkish stand selling gözleme, and it was absolutely amazing! That definitely made our day 🥹

The Centre for Computing History, located in Cambridge, is a treasure trove of vintage computers, gaming consoles, and technological artifacts. It offers an immersive journey through the history of computing technology, showcasing everything from ancient abacuses to cutting-edge supercomputers. The museum also features an intriguing exhibit on the evolution of video games. With over 800 historic computers on display, visitors can marvel at the progress of digital innovation while exploring old-school games and early mobile phones.
A really nice experience as a computer and gaming nerd. Very quiet, we went about midday on Wednesday and we were the only people in there except employees (and one person who I couldn't tell if they was a visitor or staff). We spent about an hour there. A touch small but it really shines though in the interactivity of the museum. EVERYTHING is open for you to play around on (unless it's behind glass). I didn't interact with a lot because some of the CRTs were flickering quite badly, causing eye strain, but still had a good time. A decent section dedicated to gaming and arcades, with some really nicely restored arcade cabinets. Though there was no mention of arcade consoles (NeoGeo, Naomi, Chihiro, etc.) Thought that was a bit strange considering their prominence in gaming and arcades. Though it could be an issue if space and public interest. Overall just a nice place to spend an hour or two even if you have a cursory interest in computing. Worth supporting!

Fantastic museum/centre, very educational for those wanting to know more about technology/computers not just for us IT nerds. A real insight into the history of computers and how they evolved to change our world. Even an IT professional such as myself would recommend it to others in the field. Very hands on exhibits, pretty cool to sample the gaming consoles of old.. brings back memories as a kid. Definitely worth a visit.

There is absolutely nothing here that is not to like, on so many levels. Not only did it provide a wonderful and balanced history on the development of the computer over the centuries, they've preserved some wonderful artefacts as well as some fantastic interactive elements. All of the hands-on PCs and consoles were fully working and loaded up with excellent representative milestone games. This is a wonderfully curated collection and truly a Mecca for any enthusiast.

I discovered this establishment online while planning a trip to Cambridge. I didn’t know quite what to expect, other than learning about the history of computers and technology. Tickets are £12 for adults, which is very reasonable. At first, you enter a small area at the front, and towards the back, there’s a room filled with old-school computers and machines. Then the real magic begins: you step into an interactive section where you can actually play classic gaming consoles like the Nintendo 64, PlayStation 1 and 2, Xbox, and more. As a longtime gamer, I found this place absolutely outstanding. It brought back so much nostalgia! There’s even a mock-up 1970s-style office you can explore. It’s great fun for the whole family, and if you’re a gamer, it’s definitely a must-visit. There’s also a small merchandise section, and a bathroom near the front counter. The staff were friendly and welcoming, which made the visit even better.

Friendly staff. Fully Wheelchair Accessible. 👍 Born early 70's, I grew up with a lot of those computers and games, so it was really going back in time for me, and I felt like a kid again! I would have loved to see more C64/C128, and maybe a Vic 20, and to have more playable games on Amiga 500 (or just showing something like the Settlers Intro on the A500). I didn't see any mention of the Thomson series of computers like the TO7 and TO70 (with its Optic Pen), around the same time as the C64, I think, or the MO5 and MO9 in the early/mid 80's, IIRC. Nevertheless, it was great, with a fair amount of people there on an early sunny Sunday Afternoon, from young children to some elderly people, and everyone appears to have a great time!

The Corpus Clock, located outside Cambridge's Corpus Christi College, is a remarkable monument created by John C Taylor and unveiled in 2008. The clock features a unique design with a gold-plated face and an insect-like creature called the Chronophage perched on top, symbolizing the devouring of time. Instead of traditional hands, the time is displayed through backlit LED lights in concentric rings.
Superb. I just love this place. Visited this for more than 3 times now. The clock is designed so well and looks so beautiful. It’s surrounded by many attractions like colleges, punting, shops and all. We took lots of pictures here. Only thing you need to take care about is the reflection on clock’s glass while taking pictures, it’s so annoying and you can’t avoid it unless you use another angle. Cleanliness: 4/5 Attractive: 5/5 Parking: we used park and ride method 3/5 Toilet: use any nearby shop 3/5 Must visit.

I know it's only a clock, but it's a very special clock. One which is mysterious, hypnotic and captivating, all at once. If you're in Cambridge and haven't seen it before, make sure you check it out. It's even more magical when it's dark, as you get to see these awesome blue lights 😀.
Tintin — Google review
The Corpus Clock is an intriguing and unusual piece of public art located right on the corner of one of Cambridge’s busiest intersections. The craftsmanship is fascinating — especially the way the grasshopper-like Chronophage “eats time.” It’s a brilliant fusion of art, science, and engineering, and worth seeing if you’re nearby. That said, the spot is quite cramped and always busy, so it’s hard to stop and take photos without being in the way. Still, a quick look as you pass by is well worth it.
Kamaldeep S — Google review
A unique and fascinating landmark in Cambridge. The Corpus Clock was unveiled in 2008 by Stephen Hawking and created by John C. Taylor, a former student of Corpus Christi College. The clock is known as the Chronophage – the “time eater.” Instead of hands, it shows the time with blue LEDs. On top sits a large mechanical grasshopper that “devours” each second as it passes. There are no numbers on the face, and the movement is deliberately uneven, to remind us that the flow of time feels subjective. In fact, the clock shows the exact time only once every five minutes. Both artistic and philosophical, it is a striking reminder that time is precious, fleeting, and unstoppable. Definitely worth seeing in person when in Cambridge.

We took a train from Liverpool station in London to Cambridge to start our Cambridge day trip. This was our first stop. There is a very informative article by Dr Ewan St. John Smith entitled "Secrets of the Corpus Clock" on the Corpus Christi College site. We also visited the Mathematical Bridge nearby, which has a long history.
Patrick X — Google review
The Corpus Clock is a striking and unconventional timepiece located at Corpus Christi College in Cambridge, England. Unveiled on September 19, 2008, by physicist Stephen Hawking, this clock has captivated visitors with its unique design and thought-provoking symbolism. 🕰️ Design and Functionality Spanning approximately 1.5 meters (4.9 feet) in diameter, the clock’s face is a rippling, 24-carat gold-plated stainless steel disc. Instead of traditional hands or numerals, time is displayed through 60 illuminated slits arranged in three concentric rings, representing seconds, minutes, and hours. These slits light up sequentially, creating the illusion of moving hands. On a top of the clock sits the Chronophage, a mechanical grasshopper-like figure that “eats” time. This creature moves its jaws every second, symbolizing the relentless passage of time. The Chronophage’s movement is linked to the clock’s mechanism, which employs a grasshopper escapement—a design first introduced by John Harrison in the 18th century. However, in the Corpus Clock, this escapement is externalized and exaggerated, serving both a functional and artistic purpose.
Yarys — Google review
The Corpus Clock is free, and that’s the right price. It’s a striking design, but the real show is the beast above the clock. It blinks, crawls, and adds a touch of unease. At night, the glow makes it more impressive. Worth a quick stop, though it’s more spectacle than depth. 3.5/5
Real P — Google review
The Corpus Clock was unveiled in 2008 by physicist Stephen Hawking. It was conceived and funded by Dr. John C. Taylor, a Cambridge alumnus, inventor, and horologist best known for inventing the thermostat in electric kettles. He spent over £1 million of his own money and five years to create the clock. The clock is mounted on the outside of the Taylor Library, facing King's Parade. It’s a mechanical clock with no hands or numbers. Instead, time is displayed through blue LED lights that show the hours, minutes, and seconds around a 24-carat gold-plated stainless steel disc. The Chronophage is a sculpted mechanical insect that "walks" around the clock face as time passes. Its legs move, it blinks, and occasionally it opens its mouth and appears to "eat" time, symbolizing the relentless nature of time and mortality.

Great St Mary's is a 15th-century church located in Cambridge, offering stunning panoramic views of the city's renowned colleges from its tower. The church faces Kings College and features attractive shops on Kings Parade. Notable attractions include 18th-century galleries and a tall bell tower that provides superb panoramic views of the city center. King Henry VII contributed to the rebuilding of the church by donating oak beams for its roof.
Nice church where you can climb to the bell tower, about 120 steps so 3-5m. The church is free but the climb is about 7 quid.

The Church of St Mary the Great, often called Great St Mary’s, is one of the most important and historic churches in Cambridge. It stands right in the heart of the city, next to the marketplace and opposite the Senate House of the University of Cambridge. The church dates back to the 15th century in its current form, though there was a parish church on the site much earlier. It has long been tied to the University of Cambridge, serving as the official university church. For centuries, major university ceremonies and sermons were held here, making it central to academic life. Architecturally, it is a beautiful example of late Gothic style, with a tall tower that dominates the city center. Visitors can climb the tower, which offers one of the best panoramic views of Cambridge—the colleges, the market square, and even the countryside beyond. Inside, you’ll find elegant wooden galleries, a fine organ, and striking stained-glass windows.

One of the highlights building in Cambridge. It's very impressive construction, but the tower stands out. You have to climb the one hundred twenty seven steps to admire the vest overview of the city. The only 'but' could be that you have to pay almost nine euros to do it.

Beautiful Anglican Cathedral This is an iconic Church in the hypercentre of Cambridge. It sits right in front of Cambridge market and next to some of the top colleges. The building is beautiful and is historical dating back a few centuries. To be noted this is a great place also to climb up the stairs to get a view of Cambridge town centre. You can buy tickets in advance but you can also get them here too.

Reasonable sized church in the middle of Cambridge, which is free to enter, however to go up the bell tower it is £7.50. Outside the church is the very touristy area of Cambridge, so stepping inside for some peace and tranquility is much appreciated. Lovely stained glass windows and high ceilings make the church fairly impressive, although it doesn't take too long to see everything.

I am extremely disappointed with this outdoor kids swimming pool. The area was horribly dirty, with rubbish scattered all around, making it an unpleasant and unsafe environment. The pool itself was filthy and clearly not maintained. After swimming, my little one fell ill, undoubtedly picking up some bugs from the unhygienic conditions.

The River Cam in Cambridge offers a delightful way to explore the city, passing by prestigious colleges like Trinity College and St Johns. You can admire the unique geometric shape of the Mathematical Bridge at Queens and even hop aboard a punt for a leisurely cruise down the river. The Varsity Hotel & Spa provides an excellent starting point for exploring the Cam, with its proximity to the punt station.
🏞️This is my first time to visit River Cam,and the view is extremely pleasant & beautiful. I never thought I would come to River Cam one day,although we need to take the boat to appreciate such beautiful scene & see the college students reading by the river.

If you’re in Cambridge, make sure to go “punting” on the River Cam. Rent a boat for £30, spend a few hours paddling down the river. You’ll cross the Bridge of Sighs, the Mathematical Bridge, and many others. Many guided tours available. The red boats offer alcohol for sale. Excellent leisure activity in the afternoon with family or friends.

Jesus Green is a picturesque park in the city of Cambridge, offering various outdoor amenities such as an outdoor pool, tennis courts, and a train-themed play area. The city itself boasts several open green spaces including Midsummer Common and Parkers Piece. Additionally, the area is known for its beautiful countryside and fantastic walking trails, making it ideal for long hikes with your dog.
Very pleasant. Large tree canopies to walk through and large lawns to gaze into the horizon. Despite zero expectations for the outdoor toilet, was surprised that it even has toilet paper. There are hardly any benches to rest in Jesus Green proper but upon crossing the Jesus lock bridge, there are some seats facing the river where you can watch the boats. Overall I slightly prefer Christ’s Pieces and Midsummer Common. Dont get me wrong though Jesus Green is certainly decent, after all it is the only green area with a pool.

You get to walk through the wild flower meadows, insects all hard working, with the sound of a multitude of wild birds. There are plenty of places to have a picnic.

Absolutely wonderful place to visit, have been going for over 30 years. From the house and its grounds, to the guided walks learning the history including back to when it was an ancient fort. There’s the remains of the plane that crashed in the woods in WW2 to the bird hide and well maintained paths which make it so much more accessible. The tree tunnel at the back toward the Roman Road is wonderful all year around and the maintaining of the area is done brilliantly. A recent addition of a pop up cafe in a horse box is great for a cheeky treat at the end of a long walk. Finally the flowers from January- April are a carpet of beauty and the Highland cows are very entertaining.

Lovely ramble this morning with my sons. Threat of rain above but it stayed away. We did a full lap of the park but did the reverse route. We saw no one until your walk back to the car park- and every dog we saw was off a leash 🤣 even when there were signs posted pretty much everywhere saying to keep them on a lead!! 🤦🏻‍♀️ Boys thoroughly enjoyed and always good to get out and get fresh air.

Amazing place ! MUST to be, in your visit list, if you come to visit Cambridge! I love this forest/park country park! We’ve spend a full day and we still didn’t see all the park. Is amazing how you can “lost” in nature and is amazing how every time we discover something new. At the moment is a small track that serve hot drinks but also cold drinks like ice coffee, love it. Small fee for the parking, £3.15 for fu day. Amazing space.

Beautiful park just outside Cambridge. Parking is just over £3 for the whole day, dog friendly (on lead) and has a small pop up cafe as well. Great walk on a nice day and lovely views of Cambridge and beyond

I recently visited this Forest Park and was amazed by the beauty of the area. From the vast meadows to the majestic trees, Forest Park has something for everyone. The park's trails take you through a variety of different environments, from prairies to forests and even wetlands. The trails are also fairly well-maintained, making them easy to navigate. The park also has plenty of picnic areas and playgrounds, making it a great place to spend the day with family or friends. Another great thing about Forest Park is the variety of wildlife that can be seen. I saw several species of birds, deer, and other animals while exploring the park. All in all, Forest Park is an amazing place to explore and enjoy nature. Highly recommended!

Amazing park 🏞️. Very nice for running, for walking, go with family and friends, etc. Just in the beginning you can see how green is everything. I went with a friend and we really enjoyed it. I felt the fresh air of the plants, the nature,the environment. I took deep breath all the time I could and the feeling of that was so comfortable. We could see also Highland cattles what was really cool. There are electrified fences so obviously you can't approach very close to them. This country park is highly recommend! 😎

The Cambridge Museum of Technology, situated in a former pumping station in Cambridge, England, offers a unique glimpse into the history of power technology. Housed in a building dating back to 1894, the museum showcases exhibits that highlight the local industries and the individuals who contributed to them. Visitors can explore working engines, telephone exchanges, printing presses, and other contraptions within one of Cambridge's tallest buildings. The museum provides insights into the evolution of power technology from steam to internal combustion and electricity.
Great little museum where you are encouraged to touch things. The grandchildren loved the typewriters, light switches, telephone exchange , water pumps and the lathe. They spent ages working and watching the model pumping station. And they found all the hidden toy rats.

Small museum with some really interesting exhibits. The highlights include the two Hathorn and Davey steam engines and the display of the history of the PYE company. Some of the quieter areas could do with a bit of TLC but doesn’t detract overall.

Great day, walked across the cow fields along the river. Great coffee outside the museum and breads and pastries available. Every member of staff was kind, interesting and helpful, they may have even been volunteering, but very professional! My children are 12 and both loved it. Printed press room a wonderful bonus and do make sure you explore out the back and up the stairs. Amazing buildings and history. Have been twice and would happily go there again!

The museum here is only open on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. I went there after stopping by Tesco, and it's just a 5 mins walk away. Only the café was open, but there were quite a few people, and the seating with a view of the river was really nice. It seems like this place also opens on weekends. It’s probably best to visit if you’re passing by or if you live nearby :)

Jesus Green Lido is a historic open-air pool located in the heart of the city, offering a refreshing swimming experience for both locals and visitors. Built in the 1920s, this unheated outdoor pool spans an impressive 91 meters, making it one of the longest in Europe. The spacious grassy and paved areas surrounding the pool provide ample space for sunbathing and picnicking, creating a perfect setting for a day out with family or friends.
This is such a fabulous facility. Being a Long poll it gives a different experience from a standard indoor or 25m pool. Unheated other than by the sun. Great changing and shower facilities, toilets, friendly staff. A really good place to have some longer swim practice plus it’s shallow at both ends so no deep end issues that some people experience. The whole place is amazing. Clean and well looked after, just great. We travel 70 miles each way to visit it, it’s that good! In the winter it is cold but amazing, if you are a cold water swimmer it’s the best!
Emma G — Google review
This is a HUGE (90m) unheated outdoor pool by the side of the river. Parking nearby is limited and entails either a walk across the green or across a foot bridge over the river to get to the lido. The pool temperature was around 20° (displayed at the entrance) when we visited. There are a limited number of lockers on site, and you need to pay for a token (50p, non-refundable) at the entrance. Changing cubicles are rustic and there are limited showers/toilets, which were filthy and flooded when we were there. While the pool is a glorious and unusual swim (because of the length), and there were plenty of attendants and lifeguards, it's not especially clean - we swallowed a lot of debris while swimming (leaves, insects), and emerged from the pool to the (dirty, flooded) showers with leaves, insects and seeds in our swimwear. The pool is shallow at each end with a deep section in the middle. While this pool is definitely worth a visit for the experience of swimming super-long lengths, there are much better, and more uplifting lidos at Hitchin, Ware, or Peterborough.

Beautiful ambience and atmosphere. If you want to do swim training, it’s better to go in the evening or on a less sunny day. The place could use some renovation, but it would need to be done very carefully so the Lido doesn’t lose its charm.

Took my wife here for her birthday - she loved it as did I though I'm not a great swimmer. 100yards was a long way for me. Nice setting. Great value fir money. Not heated bug I didn't find it that cold.

Fab place for a swim. It's very long at 100 yards or 91 metres. Early in the morning divided into slow, medium and fast lanes. Some of the slow lane was reserved for swimming lessons but still left around 50m available. Can pay as you go or get a discounted rates if you're a member. Sauna can be added on for a few pounds extra. Water isn't heated but wasn't too chilly, 20° on a cloudy July day. Recommend flip-flops to walk between shower and changing rooms as stone ground has leaves and other bits of trees falling on it. Café on site with coffees and snacks. Reception provide a token for the lockers or some people leave their bag on a poolside bench.

Fabulous place for a swim on a hot Sunday afternoon to cool down. The water isn't heated but they have the temperature on the gate just so people are aware. It was very busy with people sitting poolside soaking up the sun, or having a dip. Gave it a bash and once I put my feet in to test it out - went straight for a jump and landed right in the middle making sure I didn't land on anyone. It's definitely a long pool at 91m so swimming that distance was definitely a workout. Nice onside cafe as well and lots of changing facilities split into male and female. They do have tokens for lockers to keep your stuff safe but people do leave their bags by the pool. Will be back next summer ☀️
Ollie W — Google review
I love swimming here. Rhe changing rooms are a bit stinky and the water is chilly... The sauna is awful and can definitely be done up...! These negatives aside though it's 102 year old pool - built in 1923... Lots of charm and healthy vibes!! At 91m long - that means 11 lengths for 1001m - so fairly easy to count your distance, and measure your speed if you're a serious swimmer. I believe it's open all year round ❄️

What a gem. I visited on a Saturday morning and it wasn’t too busy, the pool is really long at 90 ish metres, they let us use the sauna for free and the facilities were brilliant (warm showers inside and outside and clean toilets). They had a lovely looking little cafe too that I didn’t try but looked great

A rather delightful park with a stream that people love to paddle in. Beautiful greenery all around to walk around or just lie down and take time out. There is a children's park with an assortment of play equipment. At times they have a splash pool open which is very popular. Look out for the icecream man if feeling hungry. There is some parking but this gets very busy so be warned. An enjoyable place to visit

One of my favourite spots in Cambridge for a relaxing walk or picnic. Cherry Hinton Hall Park has that perfect mix of open green space, duck ponds, and big old trees that offer loads of shade on a hot day. There’s a small stream running through the park which gives it a really peaceful atmosphere, and if you like wildlife, you’ll often see ducks, moorhens, and even herons if you’re lucky. The playground is brilliant for kids and there’s usually an ice cream van nearby on sunny weekends. There are plenty of benches and picnic tables dotted around, and it never feels too crowded even on busy days. It’s also a great place to come during the Cambridge Folk Festival, which completely transforms the area into something magical. Definitely worth a visit whether you’re local or just passing through.

Considering the hot weather we've had, this is a very nice park with something for everyone to enjoy. The play area around the Paddling Pool is well kept with just a few of the toys out of action. The ice cream van gave us a lot of ice cream and was very nice.

Iv have been visiting cherryhinton Hall all my life as I lived next to it, many happy school holidays playing there, it has changed over there years,.area of the park look neglected and overgrown the grass is well mowed. This is a great park for families to come and picnic there is lots of open space for ball games. Play area and paddling pool is great for the children. Sadly now you have to pay to park, you need a app on your phone as no pay machine, this doesn't always suit us older generation.

When in Cambridge, a visit to Lets Go Punting Cambridge is a must. This renowned activity allows you to leisurely drift down the River Cam, taking in the city's iconic bridges and gardens. You have the option of hiring a boat for a self-guided experience or booking a guided tour to learn about the city's history and culture from knowledgeable guides. It's an ideal way to unwind while immersing yourself in the stunning surroundings.
Fantastic Tour, highly recommended! I booked a private tour for four people and my small poodle and it was great. I think the boat could have fitted 6 people easily. The tour was really informative and was really nice on a summer day. The kids enjoyed it and it was a super way to see the College and the bridges from another angle. I highly recommend this company, they were on time, and everything planned was done. Five stars!

We’d like to thank Ben for a fantastic punting tour with Let’s Go Punting. He gave excellent explanations about the different Cambridge colleges and many of the famous people who had studied there, as well as interesting stories about the bridges. Ben guided the boat calmly and seemed to genuinely enjoy spending time with us on board. All of this made a wonderful trip with lots of memorable moments. We can highly recommend Let’s Go Punting — coming from two Danish tourists in Cambridge who hadn’t even planned on taking a punting tour but ended up enjoying every minute of it. Thanks again for a great experience! 🙂

I had the pleasure of going punting in Cambridge with our guide, Daniel HP. The price was competitive, and although we had to haggle a bit with the sales rep stationed at the train station, he matched the online quote. Daniel was very professional and incredibly knowledgeable about Cambridge University, sharing insights that made the tour both informative and entertaining. The scenery along the river was breathtaking, and the ride itself was smooth and relaxing. The walk from the station to the canal was a good workout, and the area is full of restaurants and pubs—perfect for spending time before or after the tour. Overall, I highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting London who can make a quick trip to Cambridge. It was a highlight of our visit!

Lammas Land is a charming city park located near the city center, offering a range of recreational activities for visitors. The park features tennis courts, open spaces for picnicking, and a summer wading pool that makes it popular with families during the summer months. Surrounded by ancient willow trees, the park provides a picturesque setting to watch punters on the river or simply relax on its grassy knolls.
If you have small children, Llamas Land park at the Newnham entry has to be your go-to place in the summer, even if you need to drive... We spent many happy days there with our children, and now grandchildren are beginning to love it. There is a high-quality playground with very good (safe but exciting) equipment, there is a pretty clean wading pool (depth maybe 20-30cm so as soon as your child can walk, they can splash there), there is a bit deeper 'learner pool' behind the bushes on the Cam bank. There are also trees great for climbing. All surrounded by a wide grassy field, which is clean and well maintained. The parking (entry from the bend of Barton Rd) is probably paid now, but if you come early you might find a free parking space along the street.

Lammas Land, named after the 3rd Earl of Lammas, is famed for its sweeping meadows and long tradition of communal fairs. Once the grounds of midsummer gatherings where villagers traded crafts, shared food, and raced chariots along the riverbank, its legacy now lives on in wide green spaces, children’s paddling pools, and the gentle hum of rowboats drifting down the Cam. Archaeologists even claim remnants of an ancient Egyptian settlement here, dating to 420 BC and used as a site of worship to Anubis; some artefacts of which can be found in the Fitzwilliam Museum

Nestled along a quaint residential lane, Scudamore's Quayside Punting Station offers an enchanting escape just moments from the vibrant Jesus Green park and the lively Quayside area filled with delightful bars and restaurants. While some may debate the height of its Conran-designed building, it’s hard to overlook the stunning views of Cambridge’s iconic architecture from above. For those looking to navigate the river without stress, opting for a guided tour with Scudamore is a fantastic choice.
A really lovely impromptu punting trip down the river, was quite busy but fit us in within 30 minutes and the boat was not overloaded allowing for a peaceful trip. The punter was really lovely and knowledgeable of the local area, giving some good insights and history during the trip whilst skillfully avoiding the carnage of tourists giving it a go themselves. At £25pp I thought it was very good value for money and it's definitely the best way to have a guided tour of Cambridge owing to most of the key areas either often being closed to public or pedestrianised so you cannot view from a vehicle. Boats are comfortable and the tour lasted around 45-50 minutes. Would definitely recommend.

Just been in to the Cambridge store, some retraining of staff in basic customer care is needed, the staff leaning in the rack open discussing which manager the preferred as to which one they could get away with doing less, didn’t move or even acknowledge the new customers in the shop! I then approached a different two staff to ask to try some cloths on which seemed like far to much trouble and I was made to feel I was inconveniencing the staff, not a single smile… then to finish trying to check out and the member of staff on the till couldn’t be more put out when I asked to renew my membership as I’d changed address…far too much hassle for him, he then also forgot to ring through items on counter. So we had to do another transaction…oh the hassle I caused!!! To the management, customer service is a basic of what you do! Get the simple things right, a smile, a welcome, if if we were being awkward customers (which we weren’t)…thank you, can I help you with anything else? Your welcome!!! Phrases that should be on the tip of your staffs tongue!! Poor show…

A bizarre set-up in here: most products have an absurd price-tag with a much smaller number below it for 'members'. I wanted a shirt and a jacket and got in the queue with a view to becoming a member at the time of transaction. However, this system is clearly flawed - non-members take absolutely ages to become members, and the members themselves are not much quicker, as they have to stand at the till for ages, reciting their addresses, emails and various personal details (data protection dream). It took 15 minutes to arrive at the till, despite there being only 2 people in front of me. I was then told that to sign up would be an additional £5 for a year's membership. Patience evaporated and I left the items and the shop, never to return. Shame, as it used to be quite good.

Nice staff and decent selection. Silly fitting rooms that need a very basic upgrade to show if they are in use or not.

Very helpful staff and good pricing. depending upon the value of what you are buying get a loyalty card for 10% off. they also offer a further 10% of if you are a National Trust or English Heritage member (Plus many others). Better pricing instore rather that on-line which is novel!

No golf gear and misleading price tags - the real price is the number that is so small on the tag that you can't read it - so you get to the till thinking great! My total will be 19.99 and the guy tells you 39.99 please and you ask wait how much is this? He tells you if you want the price indicated on the tag which you could read you have to purchase the discount card !! I don't like being forced or mislead so I bought a £3 value item and left the rest behind - there is way more choice better prices at Decathlon do t waste time here

We had to return a Westlake pop up day shelter as the mechanism was faulty. James listened to what we said and tried the mechanism himself to ensure it was faulty. He arranged a replacement shelter but before he let us leave the shop he insisted on checking that the new shelter’s mechanism was working properly. James was very polite, professional and helpful. An excellent customer service experience and a very satisfied customer - thank you James

The Botanic Gardens in Cambridge is a must-visit destination, especially in April when the gardens are in full bloom. It's a perfect place for a leisurely stroll and to admire the diverse range of plants and gardens. The well-maintained facilities include a cafe with various dining options, including vegetarian and vegan choices. Visitors can also bring their own packed lunch and enjoy it at available tables or on the grassy areas. The cactus greenhouse is particularly fascinating to explore.
Wonderful oasis in the middle of Cambridge. Grab a decent coffee and sandwich, peruse the magnificent Victorian greenhouses. On a sunny day it's idyllic. One sad not is the wanton graffiti on the agarves. Obviously school kids without the direction of good teachers. Overall well worth the entrance fee. Recommended.

Visited the Botanical Gardens on a weekend gateway, while the weather played along as well. Had a little lunch at the coffee shop inside where the staff as really kind. Overall the whole place is gorgeous and relaxing. Great place to study, walk or just getting lost in your favourite book.

Yeah I went in and most of the plants were dead. So I paid £14 for myself and my wife to see dead plants…. Should have been free during the autumn/winter months
Lamak H — Google review
Nice gardens to walk around and sensible priced to keep the facilities maintained. Well kept and constantly worked on. The cafe was great had a nice bacon sandwich with a tea in the sun. The cactus greenhouse was interesting and cool to look around. Spent 5 hours just chilling here which was a shock time went so quick just relaxing, hard to believe it’s in the city centre as was so peaceful.

Wonderful garden in the middle of Cambridge. Grab a decent coffee and sandwich for a reasonable price, and there are also the magnificent Victorian greenhouses. On a sunny day it's idyllic. One sad thing that there was graffiti. Obviously idiotic school kids without the direction of good teachers.Overall well worth the entrance fee

Perhaps the most underwhelming of British botanic gardens. A larger and more expensive version of what you might find in the middle of a municipal roundabout.
Callum P — Google review
Myself and my partner visited today, we had a lovely time, really enjoyed the different gardens and plants, spent the whole day here as we wanted to take in each section properly. We ate at the café which had a wide selection of options including vegetarian and vegan. A bit on the pricey side but as to be expected. There are tables available of you would prefer to bring your own packed lunch. Would definitely recommend.
Lucy R — Google review
Wonderful place, contemporary. Gardens for all times of the year - winter, spring, autumn and summer. Very well arranged and professionally done. A couple of good cafes on the premises. Accessible for everbody, old, young, families and... everybody! Bus stop just outside.

The Backs is a picturesque area in Cambridge, featuring landscaped lawns and gardens along the River Cam behind several colleges. It includes notable bridges such as the Bridge of Sighs and the Mathematical Bridge. The surrounding area boasts historic buildings like Kings College Chapel and Great St. Mary's church, making it a perfect walking or running route for sightseeing. Visitors can also explore charming shops and enjoy refreshments at places like Fitzbillies cake shop while taking in the beautiful scenery by the river.
Attractive small park area, home to one of the most iconic views in Cambridge. The magnificent buildings of King's College dominate the scene looking across the river, while punts travel past in the foreground. At the time of my visit in early April, the wooded area was carpeted with blue and white flowers, lending it a natural feel that contrasts well with the surrounding architecture. The paths are well maintained and the area kept spotlessly clean. A short walk across Garret Hostel Bridge from the city center, The Backs is a must-see location for visitors to Cambridge. Paid parking is available by the side of Queen's Road for up to 4 hours.
Andrew T — Google review
We were lucky to have Cambridge bathed in sunshine. The city was buzzing, with people enjoying the river and the backs of the college's. Cambridge is at its very best, like this, with all the great restaurants to choose from and the busking in the streets, Cambridge is a vibrant, cosmopolitan city.

Very peaceful and great views of the colleges. Could be more accessible to the public — there are lots of gates in inconvenient places

Backs refers to River Cam in Cambridge where people go for a leisurely boat trip. Lot of Cambridge institutions maybe seen on the boat trip. Costs £20/- a person

Parker's Piece is a 25-acre grassy area in Cambridge, known as the birthplace of football rules. It is one of the many open spaces that enhance the beauty of the city, along with other commons and gardens like Jesus Green, Midsummer Common, Sheeps Green, Lammas Land, Christs Pieces, and more.
Amazing Christmas market. Lots of activities, food stalls and cozy bars. Free entry. Worth the visit. Handmade gift shops, jewellery shops, fresh brownies and German chocolate shop. Plenty of space to walk around lots of seats available. Overall a good experience.
Rich V — Google review
Nothing much else than a big lawn so they decided to stick a huge Ferris wheel in the middle of it. I liked the pole at one end with rules of football but there’s not much else to do here. Would consider going here for a picnic or if you’re into running it would be good for that
Josh B — Google review
Loved the Cambridge Christmas market. We found parking less than 10 walking minutes, and the park itself had a bit of everything for everyone. From churros to crepes (for sweets lovers), ice skating, and the unmissable city view wheel, everything is outstanding. There are lots of outside bar areas to enjoy a mug of mulled wine or a bear, a Christmas tree maze, and lots of stalls with homemade decorations. Definitely recommend you to pay a visit (was not busy at all, considering was a Sunday afternoon).

Lovely, open green space. Enjoyed a great evening of comedy at the Cambridge Comedy Garden. Would highly recommend the Parker's Piece and the comedy event.

A lovely piece of land to relax and enjoy the days sun. Very much a community enjoyed space with students predominantly making the most of getting together and some selling items such as cake. Lovely to see the big wheel which was added attraction and made a lovely opportunity to see over the city 😀

This vibrant play center offers an array of exciting activities for kids, including thrilling slides, rope bridges to climb across, and a cozy ball pit to relax in. Outdoor adventures await with opportunities to drive play tractors, explore a charming house, dig in the sandpit, or even jump on the sputnik. Cheeky Monkeys also excels as a party venue.
We went there for our friend's birthday party. Great venue with a soft play area and some tables for adults to sit. dedicate room for children to eat and good location overall. They only offer private hire and no general admission.
Adrian I — Google review
Parties at Cheeky Monkeys are great. The kids love it and the parents are well looked after too. So much more laid back than other soft play places. Mel keeps everything running smoothly and has an almost magical authority over the children. The best and most stress-free party hosting.

Cheeky monkeys is a great place to have a birthday! My daughters love going there. There is a huge soft play climbing frame and a designated area for younger children too. The place is clean and set in a beautiful rural area just outside Cambridge. The lady running the place is friendly and polite, organises the food and cleans the play area. An absolute perfect party experience. Highly recommended for hosting a children party hassle free!

We had a fantastic party on Saturday at Cheeky Monkeys for my daughter’s birthday. Mel organises everything to perfection and makes sure it all goes smoothly, it’s lovely just being able to turn up and have everything done for you so you can just concentrate on the kids having fun. The actual soft play area is brilliant and the venue is in such a pretty setting with fields all around. It’s clean, spacious and comfortable. Thank you Mel for a really great time had by all :)

Really excellent set up. Loved how adults could also go on everything... think it was my first time in a ball pit. Flapjack was really lovely... missing a star as hot drinks out of a machine.

We have held parties here for the past 6 years for both our daughters. The barn is beautifully clean and the owner is lovely. Mel was very helpful in organising our parties and making sure they ran smoothly. Food was delicious and a good choice given. The children and their friends all had a lovely time running about and have loved every party they’ve had there.
Jade C — Google review
We hosted a party here for family in April 23. Booking was incredibly easy with a lovely selection of food available. We had less children and more adults which was accomodated with ease. Pricing was similar to a public softplay and we had the entire place to ourselves. The soft play was incredibly clean and tidy, the view is stunning and Mel was the perfect hostess. Nothing was too small for her attention, she offered regular drinks and snacks so guests were left wanting for nothing. I'd highly recommend having a party here if you'd like a stress free wonderful event.
