There is so much to see and do during your
stay in Cambridge. With the Gonville Hotel as your base in the
centre of Cambridge you’ll discover the delights of the city on
your doorstep.
Here are just a few things to do during your stay in Cambridge.
Botanic Gardens
Wander through Cambridge University's beautiful Botanic Gardens - an oasis of calm and the perfect retreat from the city centre on a sunny afternoon. Discover the finest collection of trees in the East of England, mature woodlands, rock gardens with Alpine plants, water gardens teeming with bird life and seasonal displays in the glasshouses.
King's College Chapel
Tour Cambridge's magnificent King's College Chapel, the most famous building in this historic town. It is recognised as one of Europe's finest late medieval buildings and is most famous for its magnificent choir, which you may hear when wandering through the Chapel's carefully manicured grounds.
Backs and Bridges
Discover another side to Cambridge with a leisurely walk along the banks of the picturesque River Cam, known locally as "The Backs," with magnificent views of colleges including Trinity Hall. Explore the stretch of famous bridges spanning the water and in summer you can take a punt and enjoy the colleges from the water.
Cambridge University Library
Bookworms should head to Cambridge's academic core at this spectacular library, home to one of the most comprehensive collections of books and manuscripts in the world. The library acquires almost every book published in the UK or Ireland and is housed in this wonderful building.
