Getting hungry on your day out in Cambridge? Join in a centuries old tradition of shopping at the Market Square. There are trails to walk and The Glasshouse Range, home to rare and exotic plants. Refresh your spirit with a walk among the 40 acres of the heritage listed Cambridge University Botanical Gardens. Or, if the spooky and supernatural is more your thing, you could consider booking a ghost tour around the more eerie parts of the city and get a feel for the place at night. A focal point is the River Cam, and by booking a punt up and down the water with Scudamores, you’ll gain a unique perspective on this beautiful city as well as gaining excellent insight and historical facts from your expert guide. Or just sit under an apple tree and channel your inner Isaac Newtonīut not all Cambridge days out have to be centred around museums and the University, and there are plenty more attractions on offer. Tour a hat trick of icons – the medieval Peterhouse Hall, the King’s College Chapel and the Trinity Great Court. The University of Cambridge is a treat for lovers of architecture and history. The Fitzwilliam Museum offers something for all ages, as kids can engross themselves in puzzles and games while the adults can peruse paintings by the likes of Edgar Degas. For example, children can learn about fossils and follow dinosaur trails at Sedgwick Museum of Earth Sciences, while the Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology has fun activities to tick off on every floor - its highlights include a Roman skeleton and a 500-year-old potato. If you’re of an inquiring mind, there are plenty of things to do in Cambridge that could be right up your street, with the city’s range of fascinating museums designed to educate and inspire in equal measure.
