Resting
on the banks of the River Cam for over two thousand years, the
city of Cambridge is home to the prestigious University of Cambridge.
When Oxford University students felt discontent with their school,
they established the University of Cambridge nearly eight hundred
years ago.
For some
sightseeing enjoyment, Cambridge offers the Fitzwilliam Museum,
which is considered as having one of the finest collections
of paintings and rare books. To see magnificent stained glass
windows, the King's College chapel boasts a quite impressive
display of décor including a vaulting fan built completely
out of stone. Following a style imported from sixteenth century
Venice, the Bridge of Sighs is another site to visit.
A Beautiful
college town, Cambridge allows visitors to truly experience
life. Drink and socialize at the local pubs, or completely lose
track of time while drifting in and out of the weeping willows
overhanging the River Cam. During the festive season, hear the
carolers’ singing echo down the narrow lanes where Darwin
and Newton once walked.
