Cambridge and the surrounding area offer a wonderful range of things to do. Breathe in a land of lazy waterways, rolling countryside with majestic cathedrals and stately homes, bustling market towns and quaint villages. Staying at the 4 star Cambridge Belfry Hotel.
Off we trot to the 500 acre National Stud. Having a wonderful history and home to resident stallions and ex-racehorse legends, meet the visiting mares and their foals and find out what goes on behind the scenes in making potential future champions of the turf. As a working stud, the content of the tour varies throughout the year, depending on the season and the activities taking place on a daily basis. For the afternoon, head to the market town of Bury St Edmunds. Explore medieval streets, Georgian squares, where every pathway and old building has a story to tell.
Today begins in picturesque Saffron Walden, with its heritage reflecting the wealth of this medieval, market town across the ages. Explore the quirky, cosmopolitan market, held here since 1141 on Tuesdays and Saturdays. We ‘take to the skies’ for a visit to the Imperial War Museum Duxford. From the airfield where they first flew, see Spitfires and get up close to gigantic aircraft whilst walking in the footsteps of the men and women who served here.
First stop is the University of Cambridge Botanical Garden. An ever-changing tapestry of colour, holding a collection of over 8,000 plant species from all over the world. Encouraging a great diversity of wildlife, the Garden is a green oasis in the city. On then for time at leisure in the city of Cambridge itself. Historic and cosmopolitan, known for its beauty, history, and culture. Why not take a punt on the Cam or hop on an open top bus, shop until you drop or just sit and watch the world go by.
