Cambridge attractions, local Cambridge attractions, Cambridgeshire

Cambridges main attractions are the magnificent colleges of one of the worlds most famous Universities. But Cambridge also has many other attractions and has over recent years built up a thriving high tech economy and is the center for the UKs computing and IT industries.

One of the enduring images that most visitors have of Cambridge is that of taking a relaxing punt on the Cam. This is still a very popular activity and provides a great way of seeing Cambridge and the magnificent colleges from the Backs. A word of caution, Punting can be a little tricky, so if you are not feeling overly energetic, hire one with a Punter to do the work!
