The River Cam threads through the city like a deliberate line in a sketch, daring you to follow it past college walls and into lanes where discoveries happened. On a cool morning the air smells faintly of river and old stone; punts dip their poles in measured rhythm and the spire of St Bene’t’s Church cuts a clean silhouette against the sky. This private two-hour walk makes the city feel immediate—small details and big ideas in the same stride.
