Cambridge,
known for its world-class education and colleges, has a history, taking you
back to the Roman era almost two thousand years into the past.
But Cambridge started leaving marks from the past from the medieval era.
The establishment of Cambridge University in 1209AD changed the course of history drastically.
Mixed culture
University, which produced renowned scholars such as Stephen Hawkins, Sir Isaac Newton, etc.; has a global market. This paved the way for the city to be more diverse and culturally happening.Tourists enjoy visiting the English Heritage structures and architecture scattered throughout the diverse city.
Architecture
what is more pleasing than the buildings that convey a million tales?Architecture has evolved from medieval to Gothic to Renaissance to Victorian to modern contemporary styles.
The narrow streets enhance your experience of walking in this medieval city. Taking a walk in the Senate House passage can inspire poetry about the building's details and natural materials. It can be a powerful experience. The lamp posts make you ponder the time we inhabit. This truly is an enchanting journey through the towering structures of architecture.
Round Church
As we are talking about architecture, do not forget to visit the Round Church in Cambridge.It deceives you with a subtle exterior but holds an entire show inside; the massive circular columns, semi-circular arches, and dominating dome with a circular nave take you back to the medieval era.
Only four of such round churches are present in the UK.
Kings college chapel
A renowned college in Cambridge. The church's lawn differs from the college's other buildings, and the chapel's interior displays England's finest Gothic architecture. This building has a dominating ceiling with the largest fan vault in the world. This building plays the role of being chaotic within the order, but the chaos does not scare you, as everything is in order within the structure. So many details and it seems overwhelming to pick one to admire.Landscapes
Cambridge is blessed with immense natural beauty with river Cam running around; a boat ride around the city will show you a better view of Cambridge and open green parks like Jesus Green to chill with friends during a good sunny day.The castle mound is a must-visit as it gives an elevated 360 view of the city and its stunning.
Newton’s apple tree
The original tree in Lincolnshire might have been destroyed in a storm in the 19th century, but the tree in the courtyard of Trinity College of Cambridge is a direct descendant of it.The tribute for such a brilliant scholar and scientist is a must-visit
if you are in Cambridge.
