Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Cambridge University Botanic Garden, 1 Brookside, Cambridge CB2 1JE England
Famous Cambridge
Cambridge is famous for its university, currently one of the best in the world, and its scientists. It is the town where: the atom was first split, where the structure of DNA was discovered, where Charles Darwin developed the theory of evolution, where Newton developed his theory of gravity, where the order of human DNA was first discovered, where the electron and neutron were discovered, where Stephen Hawking of black-hole fame used to live and work. It has been home to some of the great thinkers of the last 500 years.
Cambridge is small and the historic town centre can only be visited on-foot – no vehicles are allowed. Expect to walk for most or all of your visit. Better still, spend an hour on the river – easily the best way to see the beauty of Cambridge. There are no hills in the centre of town.
