1. Colleges and Museums - 1.5 miles / 2.4 kms
Cambridge is an ancient city with an historic university, and this route provides a strong flavour of both. From the beginning you will pass museums and a celebrated inn. Passing ancient colleges, steeped in history, you arrive at the riverbank, busy with boats. From here it’s back to the centre, via yet more colleges, ancient churches, quirky shops, and a thriving market place -
home to the Guildhall.

Past a medieval Round Church next, before passing an array of restaurants, to complete your journey at Magdalene Bridge, overlooking Cambridge’s busy but beautiful river, the Cam.
