LOCATION 
Cambridge is the home of the famous University, carols in King's College
Chapel and punting on the river Cam. Cambridge is a compact cosmopolitan
city with outstanding architecture old and new. The beauty of its ancient
centre is preserved with its walkable medieval streets, college courts,
gardens and bridges.

Cambridge is a delight to visit in any season: relax in its many pubs,
restaurants and cafes whilst exploring the independent shops around the
historic market place. There are brand new shopping areas too, with all the
high street favourites that you would expect.

Be inspired by the museums and art galleries; spot the stars of the future
at a student theatrical production, or see a show at the Arts Theatre. Film,
live music of all kinds, poetry readings, public lectures - enter into the
intellectual life of the students while you are here.
