Activities and Attractions in Cambridgeshire

With three fascinating and vibrant cities and a landscape of waterways and wide-open skies, Cambridgeshire is packed full of interesting things to see and do and there is space to relax too.

You might like to visit the ‘collection of collections’ at Anglesey Abbey, Gardens and Lode Mill in Lode, Cambridge. Set in a glorious landscaped garden this country gentleman’s home includes collections of paintings, statuary, trees, porcelain, dahlias, silver, snowdrops, walking sticks, clocks and much, much more.

If architecture is more your thing, then Cambridgeshire can offer you some magnificent examples. Marvel at King’s College Chapel in Cambridge with its fabulous fan vaulted ceiling, the largest in the world. See Ely Cathedral dominating the skyline with its distinctive Octagon tower, and gaze in awe at the mighty medieval arches of the West Front of Peterborough Cathedral soaring above you.

Or perhaps you’re looking for something a little more exciting? The Imperial War Museum Duxford is Europe’s premier aviation museum. This heritage site, which began as an airfield in the First World War, boasts one of the finest collections of tanks, military vehicles and naval exhibits in the country.
