Taking Vacations In Cambridgeshire, England

Cambridgeshire is a county in the east of England surrounded by the counties of Norfolk, Rutland, Northamptonshire, Suffolk, Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire, Lincolnshire and Essex. Cambridgeshire might not feature any beaches but there is a diverse range of other local attractions which make this an incredible place in which to take a vacation.  In the article below I  explain why tourists should think about a trip to this most picturesque part of Great Britain.

The county of Cambridgeshire has exciting waterways, outstanding cathedrals, breathtaking countryside, prestigious stately homes, busy little market towns and the fascinating city of Cambridge. Cambridge is a very popular visitor attraction which is extremely suitable for vacations at any time of the year.

Tourist attractions in this intensely photogenic university town include The Fitzwilliam Museum, The Round Church, The Backs, The Folk Museum, Denny Abbey and The Orchard Tea Garden, however the majority of tourists travel to Cambridge to view the sights belonging to some of the thirty one colleges such as King's College & King's College Chapel and Cambridge University Botanic Garden. It can take a very long time to visit all of the university colleges but the finest buildings to meander around are those belonging to Trinity College, Corpus Christi, Magdalene College and St John's College.

The Cambridgeshire Fens

The Cambridgeshire Fenlands are an extremely marshy region almost at sea-level. There has been a great many attempts at draining the ground some dating back to Roman Times. It wasn't until the seventeenth century that serious efforts were made. Unfortunately these attempts were a failure and it wasn't until the 18th & 19th Centuries that the land was drained successfully and the land was used for agriculture.

These days the unique landscape of marshes of fresh and salt water provide the perfect environment for leisure and wildlife. Cambridgeshire has some of the British Isles' least congested waterways, ideal for narrow boat trips.

If you wish to discover more about the fascinating Fens then you will discover that the small towns of Wisbech, Whittlesey, Chatteris and March each feature an excellent museum.

Cambridgeshire' Historic Market Towns

Across the area are sited picturesque little market towns, which, long ago were actually islands. March grew up as a port in the Tudor era and has a fascinating history. Other small island communities included Chatteris, Ramsey, Whittlesey and Littleport. These market towns have superb architecture spanning a few centuries such as Whittlesey's Seventeenth Century Butter Cross. Many hours can be pleasantly passed looking at the numerous shops, stalls and independent businesses.

Other Cambridgeshire Tourist Attractions

The list of local attractions is huge. Heritage railways include the Wisbech and March Bramley Line and the Nene Valley Railway and there a small number of fascinating buildings worth seeing including Houghton Mill, Lode Watermill, Down Field Windmill and Great Gransden Post Mill.

The county is home to a small collection of historic religious buildings such as the abbeys of Spinney, Denny, Anglesey and Ramsey, Ely Cathedral and Peterborough Cathedral plus the Old Vicarage at Grantchester and Duxford Chapel. The list of stately homes, historic houses and castles is simply so  big that it could not be shown here, it is the same with the listings of art galleries & museums.

The birth of America’s bastardized cuisine (Salon)

America is a country originally settled by scoundrels and religious zealots --
thieves, embezzlers, prostitutes, arsonists; English Puritans, French
Huguenots, German Amish, Czech Moravians and Russian Mennonites. The screwed-
over Scotch-Irish, the shanghaied London street punk, the peace-loving, slave-
owning Quaker, the enslaved Gullah. It is also the native land of the Ojibwa,
the Zuni, the Makah, the Miwok and the Seneca. This alchemy of sinner and
saint, “savage” and sophisticate is the source of our original cuisine: a
stolen, borrowed, distorted culinaria that can pique the tongue, clog the
arteries, fire the belly, or mellow the soul.

In keeping with American tendencies, Thanksgiving is a bastard holiday,
cobbled together from homegrown traditions and the hokey imaginings of 19th
century writers, along with actual historical facts. The facts are thus: The
“first American Thanksgiving” was probably observed in the South, not at
Plymouth, and it would have been a day devoted to prayer, not pie. As for the
famous Plymouth pilgrims? The settlers that staggered off the Mayflower to
strike up a miserable township on the rocky shore did not call themselves
pilgrims. At the time, they were known by cagier names: separatists (religious
idealists) and strangers ...
