About
Cambridge is one of the most beautiful and influential cities in the world, and the University has produced an astounding 110 Nobel prize winners.
It’s a city of radical and revolutionary thought, having produced some of the most prominent Protestant figures of the English Reformation poets who overturned traditional forms in favour of language representing the speech of ordinary people and scientists who challenged religious orthodoxy as they unravelled the workings of the physical world. Walk in the footsteps of Isaac Newton, Alan Turing, Lord Byron, Srinivasa Ramanujan, Ludwig Wittgenstein, Sylvia Plath and Charles Darwin and see the sights that inspired William Wordsworth, E.M.Forster and influential Chinese poet Xu Zhimo.
Despite its historic and cultural importance, Cambridge still feels like a small market town, through which you can meander past architectural gems like King’s College Chapel, the early medieval Round Church (dating from 1130 and one of only four such churches in England) and the world-famous “Backs” (the breath-taking views of the colleges along the River Cam.)
