CAMBRIDGE | Full tour of historic Cambridge City Centre, England
We take a walk through the city of Cambridge to see the visitor and tourist attractions around Cambridge city centre and the University to see what it's really like
Cambridge, a city where history and intellect intertwine, offers visitors a captivating journey through time. At its heart lies the University of Cambridge, a constellation of ancient colleges that define the city's skyline.
Punting along the River Cam on the boat provides a unique perspective of these architectural marvels, their Gothic spires and tranquil courtyards reflected in the still waters. As the flat-bottomed boat glides gently, one can appreciate the intricate details of iconic buildings such as King's College Chapel, with its breathtaking fan vaulting, or the distinctive Bridge of Sighs, a Venetian-inspired walkway connecting St John's College.
Beyond the river, the city offers a wealth of cultural experiences. The Fitzwilliam Museum, a treasure trove of art and antiquities, invites exploration of masterpieces from across the globe. For nature enthusiasts, the University Botanic Garden is a verdant oasis, while Kettle's Yard, a former home turned art gallery, offers a unique contemporary art experience.
History buffs will find themselves captivated by the city’s architectural heritage. Great St Mary’s Church, a towering presence on the skyline, offers panoramic views of Cambridge. For a glimpse into the city’s more recent past, the Centre for Computing History provides a fascinating exploration of the digital age.
Beyond its cultural and historical riches, Cambridge boasts a charming atmosphere. Cobbled streets lined with independent shops and quaint cafes invite leisurely exploration. The city’s green spaces, perfect for picnics or simply unwinding, offer a welcome respite from the urban bustle.
Each college within the university is a world unto itself. Trinity College, with its iconic Great Court and Wren Library, is a symbol of academic excellence.
St John’s College, renowned for its beautiful gardens and architectural grandeur, is another highlight.
Corpus Christi College, with its distinctive clock tower, and Gonville & Caius College, with its imposing gatehouse, are just a few of the many colleges that contribute to Cambridge’s unique charm.
A day in Cambridge is a journey through time and space. It's a chance to wander through centuries of history, to lose oneself in the beauty of art, and to experience the unique ambiance of a city where tradition and innovation coexist.
Whether you're drawn to the academic allure, the artistic treasures, or the city's timeless charm, Cambridge promises an unforgettable experience. As the day begins to wane, the city takes on a magical quality.
The river, adorned with the colorful hues of the setting sun, mirrors the sky in a breathtaking spectacle. It's a moment to pause, to reflect, and to appreciate the magic of Cambridge.

I have lived here all my life and forget how nice it is!! Thank-you for reminding me.

[@GimbalWalkTV]

Such a great city!

[@Basman59]

@@SusanR-x5y You are most fortunate to have lived there all your life. Whether it was good fortune or a deliberate choice in either way bloody lucky. If the latter, well then you are extremely astute. As a expat London lad in 2001 I had the tremendous luck of seeing Cambridge on a trip home and a concert at Ely, something of a holy grail. I wish I had the time back; Cambridge would have been a lovely place to spend my life. Good fortune to you.

[@raybenstead2548]

Same here and it's a great place to live.

My brother lives in a village just outside of Cambridge. I have visited many times and love it there. The Fitzwilliam is a great museum and love sitting on Parker’s Piece watching the world go by ❤

[@GimbalWalkTV]

Yes nice!!

[@Britgal.]

So lucky to live in such a beautiful city...

[@LynneHobday1]

I used to visit Cambridge a lot but a couple of years ago my Dad and I went for the first time in a while. I was kind of overwhelmed by the amount of people there and kind of wished we'd gone to Ely instead. Beautiful city though!!

[@GimbalWalkTV]

So busy!!

[@allysonrollitt210]

I've just returned from a long weekend in Cambridge. It's a beautiful,if very busy, place. Just outside Cambridge is the American war memorial and cemetery which is well worth a visit.

[@rogertemple7193]

[@chrismorris2142]

I've been told that Cambridge is an island 🏝️ surrounded by the sea of Cambridgeshire. Beautiful, intellectual city but too busy for me. Fascinating architecture of the colleges and churches. Thanks Neil.

[@geoffreyjerrom7771]

😎Very good i had a great time thanks.

[@GimbalWalkTV]

Thanks for coming!

[@theworldthroughmyeyes2500]

Great video, thanks for sharing, what's your shooting gear?

[@christasker2944]

The city centre has become a museum / theme park most of the university departments are on the outskirts now. Even the county councils has sold shire hall to a hotel and moved to Huntingdon.

[@margcollins7961]

It looks like a nice place, but I'm not a fan of big crowd's!, it looked like, everywhere you went, it's packed with people!, do they ever have any days when it's quiet?

[@delahunty982]
