Cambridgeshire
Cambridgeshire is home to sprawling fenland, water meadows, miles of countryside, Cathedral towns, and, of course, the city of Cambridge. As a county rich in history, architecture, art, and culture, the list of places to visit is long.
National Trust
Cambridgeshire offers days out rich in history, nature, and sweeping landscapes. The National Trust heritage sites here, like Wimpole Estate with its wide parkland, working farm, and grand house, capture the county’s deep rural character. Wander the paths around Anglesey Abbey, where gardens, meadows, and riverside walks change gently with the seasons.

Fenland Nature Reserves
The Fenland nature reserves show a wilder side of Cambridgeshire. Places like Wicken Fen offer boardwalks through ancient wetlands, where reeds rustle, ponies graze, and rare birds move quietly through the marsh. Further across the Fens, open water, peat soils, and long, straight droves create a sense of space that’s both calming and dramatic. These reserves capture the spirit of the Fenlands, wild and open.

Cambridge
Cambridge city centre is shaped by history, learning, science and culture. College courtyards, chapels, the famous Backs and libraries rise above cobbled streets, while cyclists move between markets, bookshops, and riverside paths. The sound of punts moving along the Cam mixes with the bustle of cafés and the calm of green spaces tucked between ancient buildings. Visit the Wren Library to view a first edition Winnie the Pooh or visit the apple tree outside Trinity college, grown from a cutting of the one Issac Newton sat beneath.
