• Urban Ramble, part 1

    13 augustus 2019, Engeland ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C

    I received an excellent Christmas present from Sarah - a book called Urban Rambles which documents walks covering both a city and it's local countryside - and have finally got round to using it! We have lived in the Cambridge area for over 30 years and this walk showed us quirky things we have not seen before and provided information we did not know.

    Starting in Cambridge City centre, we walked down to the River Cam and the Backs taking in the classic views of the Mathematical Bridge (connecting two parts of Queens College) and Kings College Chapel. There is an aluminium statue of DNA in Clare College, where James Watson was a graduate student. Crossing back via the Garrett Hostel Bridge, we saw Trinity Hall's modern Jerwood Library, saw the magnificent Trinity Great Court and the original Trinity College gates before turning up along Trinity Street
