Things to do
The University of Cambridge—probably one of the things you came here for
Founded in 1209, the University of Cambridge is just like the fictional Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, in a way. Over the centuries, it has produced many brilliant wizards in various fields, from math and science, to literature and the arts. Its alumni include 116 Nobel Laureates and 15 UK prime ministers. The university's campus is also one of the most beautiful in the world. It's home to King's College Chapel, a magnificent example of Gothic English architecture, as well as the Cambridge University Botanical Gardens, Fitzwilliam Museum, and many other attractions.
Activities
Enchanting elements everywhere in Cambridgeshire
Cambridgeshire is rural, with towns dating back to the Middle Ages. The charm of its countryside and the medieval flavor of its towns give it a magical flair. You'll be spellbound by the artwork and architecture of the shire's museums, churches, and stately mansions, and you'll enjoy punting River Cam. Sampling the food, from the local goodies in the market towns to the fish and chips in traditional pubs, is also a divine experience. Sports aficionados, meanwhile, can bask in the electrically charged atmosphere whenever Cambridge faces off with old rival Oxford in a football or rugby match.
Weather
Even magical folk need sunscreen and water
Thanks to Cambridgeshire's low altitude and eastern location, it gets less rainfall than London and the western shires. Temperature can peak at 72 degrees in summer and dip to 34 degrees in winter. While Cambridgeshire is generally cool from fall to spring, the summer months of June to August can be dry. Cambridgeshire vacation rentals are busiest in summer, though, so book your accommodations in advance if you're vacationing there from June to August. Also, bring your sunscreen and a bottle of water with you to help you combat the heat and dryness.
Natural features
You won't be on the fence about the beauty of The Fens
Cambridgeshire lies around 63 miles north of London. Large parts of this region are located in an area called the Fens, a flat marshland reclaimed and converted into farmlands. The richness of the Fens has helped Cambridgeshire to become one of the richest agricultural regions of England. Some parts of the Fens have been designated special conservation areas. A notable example is Wicken Fen, home to approximately 8,500 plant and animal species, some of which are native to the Fens. Cambridgeshire vacation rentals provide you opportunities to discover the beauty of the Fens.
