The Insider Info on Cambridge
Cambridge boasts a long, rich history, incredible buildings and interesting sights, plus lots of new places popping up all over the city. We’ve done some digging to help you avoid the tourist hotspots and hang out where the locals go. There’s more info about our available Cambridge properties here.
Stand Up Paddle Boarding – Forget about punting. SUPing is now the best way to spend a day on the River Cam. Milton Country Park offers plenty of opportunities for you to experience paddle boarding and a whole host of other water sports.
Mill Road – Whether you want a charity shop bargain, a delicious meal or to grab a pint in a great nearby pub, Mill Road offers something for everyone. Some of the top highlights are Calverley’s Brewery, 196 Cocktail Bar, and a plethora of charity shops for the bargain hunters out there.
Green Spaces – Cambridge has a blurred line between city and countryside so there’s lots of green spaces to explore near city. Take a walk to Coe Fen, Midsummer Common or Stourbridge Common.
Live music – The Fiver at Cambridge Junction is a longstanding event offering emerging bands the opportunity to play on the main stage. Five local bands for a fiver.
Hope Street Yard – This is a real hidden gem, just off the vibrant Mill Road. It is a community focused space with lots of independent traders including retro antique dealers, a Dutch bike shop, a gallery, artists, carpenters, puppet makers and plant sellers.
