Driving In and Around Cambridge

By: kieran cassidy

Whilst learning to drive or driving around Cambridge the following may help you.Cambridge is primarily a university city and is located in the county of Cambridgeshire.

The dramatic Kings College Chapel dominates the city centre, a fine example of gothic architecture. The city centre is overrun by students cycling to and from lecture during term time so as always keep an eye out for cyclists.

A very scenic city, with many large open spaces and the beautiful River Cam running through the city centre, what better way than to drive around in the freedom of your own vehicle.

Any sightseeing trip to Cambridge will be dominated by visits to the separate colleges, all impressive in their own right. Kings College, Queens College, St Johns College, Jesus College, Pembroke College, Clare College, Saint Catharines College and Corpus Christi College all display dramatic architecture.

Cambridge is also notable for its parks, with The Back being the primary recreation centre in the summer, running along the banks of the Cam, behind the various colleges.

The Cambridge Botanic Garden is a somewhat more structured green space, organised into botanical collections. Cambridge nightlife is student orientated, with many excellent and inexpensive pubs and restaurants and several well established nightclubs, at this point is worth mentioning that drinking whilst driving is a strict no no, otherwise you could need a guide to police stations.

The most prominent nightclub is Fez, situated in Market Passage, with a regular student night on Mondays.
Travel to Cambridge is possible by plane, although the closest airport is London Stansted around 30 miles away.
