Introducing Cambridgeshire
It’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking Cambridgeshire equals Cambridge, the breath-takingly beautiful city and world-renowned brains trust where a visit feels like plunging into the past and meeting the future rolled into one. And the university rightly tops any agenda to the region. But don’t let Cambridge’s dazzling attractions blind you to the county’s other charms. Anywhere else, the extraordinary cathedrals at Peterborough and Ely would steal the limelight, and the rip-roaring Imperial War Museum would leave everyone from aeroplane-obsessed kids to their nostalgic grandparents wriggling with anticipation. Flat as an ironing board, the county also offers leisurely cycling through reclaimed fen, lush farmland and across myriad waterways. A nightmare for agoraphobics, the vast open landscapes nonetheless impress with epic sunsets and unsullied horizons.
