Directory
King's College, Cambridge
Overview: With a University heritage dating back as far as 1209, Cambridge is steeped in heritage and tradition and, as its colleges have been added piecemeal by Royal and Aristocratic patrons over the century, it opens for the visitor like a catalogue of the past 700 years of European architecture. With daffodils and summer flowers carpeting the ‘Backs’, or banks of the River Cam, summer and spring are ideal seasons for punting in Cambridge. Cambridge offers first class accommodation, as well as a feast of shops, culture and entertainment and is one of England’s most popular tourist destinations.
