Cambridge

Cambridge is visited each year by many tourists the historic university attracts people because of its buildings and the beautiful Backs. King's College Chapel is the most famous building in Cambridge. Views of the chapel from Kings Parade and Queen's Road are often sought after its entrance is via Senate House Passage or Trinity Lane. You need to pay to enter, but the fan vaulted ceiling, stone carving and stained glass are worth it alone. You can also attend a chapel service. A tip for tourists - there are many beautiful photos of Kings Chapel and other Cambridge landmarks, and some of these have been made into postcards.

The Church of the Holy Sepulchre, otherwise known as the Round Church, is an attractive small Norman church at the junction of St. John's Street and Sidney Street. It is one of only four round churches in Britain. They were built by the Knights Templar. The Round Church is still used for the occasional service, but has various other exhibitions.

Great St Mary's and market – Cambridge is open 6 days a week. It sells food, clothes, and many other goods, with souvenirs during summer. On Sunday, there are craft stalls and a Farmers' Market. The church is Great St. Mary's, the university Church. The tower can be climbed for a small fee this gives you a good view of Cambridge.

In terms of terrain Cambridge is very flat. Due to this and in combination traffic and parking, bicycles are a serious form of transport. Bicycles can be hired in Cambridge, but make sure that you know the rules of the road before using them! Since Cambridge is flat and the historic centre is relatively small, it is convenient to walk everywhere and many walking tours operate in the area.
