Cambridge

Cambridge, 60 miles north of London, is world-famous for its prestigious university. William Wordsworth, Isaac Newton, Charles Darwin, Alan Turing, Jane Goodall, and King Charles III are only a few of its illustrious alumni. The university dominates — and owns — most of Cambridge, a historic town of about 125,000 people. Cambridge is the epitome of a university town, with busy bikers, stately residence halls, plenty of bookshops, and proud locals who can point out where DNA was originally modeled, the atom first split, and electrons discovered.
