DAY 1
STUDY YOUR SURROUNDS
Cambridge wouldn’t be Cambridge without its university. Dating back to 1209 it is the second oldest in Britain (behind its great rival, Oxford) and the third oldest in the world. A walk through its colleges is a walk in the footsteps of history’s great names: Sir Isaac Newton, Charles Darwin, Stephen Hawking, the list goes on. But whether or not you’re a quantum physics fanatic, the university’s historic architecture will be a highlight of your trip. Make time for King’s College, which has risen to global fame for its Christmas carol service, and the chapel () is its jewel in the crown. Originally started by King Henry VI in the 15th century and finished by Henry VIII.
