Cambridge In the vicinity of Ely, Cambridge is by far the most important and rewarding place to visit. The University Colleges The glory of Cambridge is the multitude of ancient Colleges, which can be seen in all parts of the historic centre. Probably the best known College is King's, for its chapel, from where the "Nine Lessons and Carols" are broadcast every Christmas. This Chapel ranks as the gem of the city, though there would be counter-claims for Trinity College for example, with the grandest mediaeval quadrangle in the world, or Jesus, the oldest foundation, and Clare for its classical style and garden. Associations Cambridge has associations with Tennyson and many famous poets and writers. The scientific connection is vast, from Newton to many scientists from the era of the old Cavendish Laboratory, Rutherford, J.J.Thompson, to Crick and Watson of DNA fame and the current leaders in molecular biology. Pulsars were discovered at the Radio Astronomy Laboratory. Punting We can advise on what to see and do, which in season should include the punt trip on the river Cam past the historic "Backs" of the Colleges. For further information on punting, see Tours of Cambridge |
