 | Situated next to the scenic River Cam and bursting with history, the university city of Cambridge can be found in the East of England. The city is home to the famous University of Cambridge, which is made up of a series of 31 colleges dotted around the city, including Peterhouse that was established in 1284 and Robinson that was built in 1977.
Cambridge also has a wealth of tourist attractions for you to visit, such as The Fitzwilliam Museum, which is home to important works of art from the likes of Gainsborough and Hogarth, The Cambridge Corn Exchange, which showcases shows from the West End, and The Cambridge Arts Theatre that offers new and unusual plays.
The city plays host to a number of festivals every year including the Cambridge Folk Festival, where you can see an eclectic mix of musicians from across Europe.
Postcodes for Cambridge begin with the letters CB and as well as Cambridge itself the CB postcode includes Saffron Walden, Ely, Newmarket and Haverhill.
A visit to any of these places and Cambridge itself can give you a real feel for traditional English country life, as you enjoy lazy days by the river, the bustling arts and theatre scene, independent shops offering unique gifts, and, of course, many great museums and tourist attractions.
As well as the attractions mentioned above, you might also want to take the time to visit interesting places such as the Cambridge and County Folk Museum, the Cambridge Museum of Technology, Ely Museum, Oliver Cromwell's House, and Ely Cathedral.
