Things to do
Gaze up at Cambridge's King's College Chapel
While Cambridge is studded with magnificent architecture, nothing quite tops King's College Chapel. Built in the 16th century, it's one of the UK's most spectacular Gothic buildings. Visit during the school term to catch the world-famous choir singing under the fan-vaulted ceiling. Trinity College is another iconic building, fronted by a grand Tudor gateway and grassy Great Court. Inside, you'll find treasures like the Wren Library, which houses 1000s of books and manuscripts dating to the 1800s. Think originals from Shakespeare, AA Milne and other beloved British writers.
