Highlights
Why it works here
Cambridge's most beautiful views are from the Backs — the riverside meadows behind the colleges. Wexplo narrates each college as you walk along the river, from the mathematical bridge of Queens' to the great court of Trinity where Newton dropped apples.
April to June for wildflowers in the meadows and student rowing on the Cam.
