CAMBRIDGESHIRE – the academic heart of the Land of the Angles.
Cambridgeshire Bed and Breakfast Guide
Cambridge has been an important settlement since before Roman times. In the 11th century, religious orders and a breakaway group of Oxford scholars established Cambridge University. Its jewel is King’s College. Founded in 1441 by Henry VI, it features a stunning fan vaulted ceiling and a Rubens altarpiece. A good place to view some of the colleges and the bridges is from the Cam, aboard one of the famous punts. The Fitzwilliam Museum has a world-renowned collection of antiquities and fine art. The Cambridge University Gardens are spectacular.
On to The Fens, a vast tract of fertile, drained swampland. Dominating the area is Ely Cathedral. It was founded in 1109 and boasts The Octagon – an amazing architectural feat. Wicken Fen is 600 acres of classic undrained fen and a wildlife wonderland. Visit also Holme Fen and Woodwalton Fen Nature Reserves.
Anglesey Abbey is a fine Jacobean country house built on the site of a 12th century abbey. It has a working watermill and wildlife gardens. Elton Hall has a medieval chapel and gatehouse. Its library includes Henry VIII’s prayer book. Wimpole Hall and Home Farm is the biggest 18th century house in Cambridgeshire.
Cambridgeshire’s most famous son, Oliver Cromwell, was born in Huntingdon. His death mask can be seen at the town’s Cromwell Museum.
