In this video, I'm sharing how we spent 24 hours in Cambridge, covering everything from the iconic colleges and River Cam to independent shops, historic pubs, and some genuinely delicious food.

We stayed at the University Arms (Cambridge's oldest hotel), tried the legendary Chelsea buns at Fitzbillies, took a walking tour through the backstreets learning about famous Cambridge alumni, and of course, went punting down the River Cam with afternoon tea.

Whether you're planning your first visit to Cambridge or looking for fresh ideas beyond the obvious, this is the perfect itinerary for a day trip or overnight stay from London.
