A quick guide to Cambridge
With so much history in the area and with such worldwide acclaim, a visit around the university and the surrounding area is a must while you’re in Cambridge.
You’ll be able to walk through the centre of the town, soaking up the timeless academic atmosphere surrounded by the pristine medieval buildings. And drive around to the west side of the River Cam to the grassy riverbank and see the most famous Cambridge view: The Backs. These are simply the backs of the old colleges with their gardens leading down to the river. If you have time, it’s a favourite spot for a punting expedition – but be warned, it’s not as easy as it looks.
Experience the university
If you want to see inside any of the colleges you’ll find they all have different opening days and hours but try to get in to see Kings and St John’s College.
Take a peep into some of the ancient, quirky hangouts in the city centre, like the 17th-century Eagle, to catch a glimpse of the other side of the student lifestyle. It was in the Eagle that young scientists James Watson and Francis Crick announced to their student pals in 1953 that they’d discovered DNA.
Take it easy
You may fancy a quiet refuge from the bustling student life after a while. The perfect spot to escape is the University’s own Botanical Garden. It’s just south of the inner ring road. You’ll be able to wander through 40 acres of exotic plants and glasshouses. The highlights include an apple tree, supposedly descended from Newton’s ‘gravity tree’, and an impressive collection of carnivorous plants.
Outside Cambridge
Audley End is just a 15-mile drive south from Cambridge and offers a great day out from the city. It’s a magnificent, Jacobean stately home set in formal gardens with a large landscaped park for walks. The house itself is full of carved ceilings, stuffed animals and glimpses of how the other half once lived.
Even closer to Cambridge is the family-friendly Shepreth Wildlife Park, another fun day trip. Among the tigers, monkeys and snakes you’ll find there’s a miniature train to ride, adventure playgrounds, and animal feeding sessions.

Very helpful staff. They were flexible and professional. Quick pick up and drop off. Car was not the newest (30k miles), but was more than adequate.
Hertz Customer
Great experience renting a Polestar 2 from here with far better pricing than competitors. I'll be back! Car was in great condition and the staff were direct in communication but courteous. Don't expect a warm cuddly approach, but expect transactional business with some chit chat and you'll have your expectations set properly. Pre-existing damage on the car was made clear to me. I asked to make sure additional damage (that I didn't see reported) was already included in their assessment and that was explained to me properly. The other reviews worried me, but that was completely unwarranted. The approach seems "Be an easy customer, and we'll make your hire experience easy too". Of course, everybody should take videos and pictures of the car before and after and ensure they take out excess hire car insurance to ensure they aren't stuck with expensive repair bills. The only negative has to do with the car (which trembles at 70mph) but this seems to be a known issue with polestars. Also keep in mind that keyless car theft is rife, so get a Faraday pouch to protect yourself from this as you grocery shop etc. Read more
