One of my sisters had never visited Cambridge, so while in England, we made the train journey from Clacton to Cambridge. We had a wonderful day! It started with a visit to the Cambridge Botanical Garden, a walk over to Queens College and the Mathematical Bridge, a walk along "the Backs" and a visit to King's College Chapel. We also visited Emmanuel College, designed by Christopher Wren, and were delighted to find another lovely small garden behind the quad. Bicycles abound in Cambridge. I can certainly understand why, and it was interesting to see how many fences, railings, and walls had "No Cycles" posted on them. The fence or gate is considered to be private property and I guess they can't accommodate all those bikes. I noticed that often the signs were ignored. This was my favourite bike that I spotted in Cambridge and there were many to chose from. The racks at the train station were a sea of bikes! Ride on!
