Cambridge, Oxford & surrounds




After leaving London on Friday we headed towards Cambridge for Bruce to have more meetings. We spent a little bit of time wandering the streets of Cambridge although given it is summer holidays a lot of the colleges were closed to tourists and the famous Kings College Chapel was closed for renovations. Despite not being able to get inside a lot of the buildings, Cambridge is still an amazing place to visit with very quaint narrow streets & an enormous amount of history & architecture.
We spent the next few nights staying with David (Nuffield Scholar) & his wife Katie whilst we had a busy few days touring the country side meeting with past scholars, farmers, businessmen & president of the NFU (National Farmers Union).
After leaving Cambridgeshire we headed to Oxford & again spent some time wandering around the city taking in the sights and endless old buildings (including the Corpus Chrisi College where parts of the Harry Potter movies have been set).
