LOCATION - CAMBRIDGE
Cambridge is a stunning city, famous for its prestigious universities and located on the River Cam, with excellent fast commuter links to London and far-reaching parts of the UK by train or road.

The University of Cambridge was founded in 1209 and consists of many buildings, including the iconic Kings College Chapel, Cavendish Laboratory and the Cambridge University Library. The city is at the heart of the high-technology Silicon Fen, which is home to a large cluster of high-tech businesses focusing on software, electronics, and biotechnology.

Cambridge enjoys a wealth of culture and amenities, including the market, which has been trading since the Middle Ages and numerous renowned museums, such as the architecturally stunning Fitzwilliam Museum - home to everything from Egyptian antiquities to Renaissance sculptures. The city also has more green space per acre than almost any other city in the UK. Jesus Green, Midsummer Common and Parker's Piece are just three of the many expansive areas that often have activities, sports and festivals taking place for all the family, such as Midsummer Fair, Strawberry Fair and the Cambridge Beer Festival.

Cambridge is jam-packed with restaurants, bars, cafes, and pubs, offering a mix of cuisines and dining options. Mill Road is also famous for its hub of independent restaurants, offering exciting fares from around the world. There are many places to shop, with high-street brands and independent boutiques that reach from The Grande Arcade all the way over to the Grafton Centre, and beyond. Cambridge benefits from both first-class state and independent schooling, with well-rated Primary, Secondary, Sixth Form and International options.
