If you're visiting Cambridge for the first time, this is one of the quintessential views of the river Cam. You'll see plenty of punting boats on the river.

A narrow shared-use path. Fine for bike touring, avoid for road cycling.

The view over the Cam is definitely worth it, but you won't be the only one knowing this and it is almost always a bit crowded on the bridge making it a bit chaotic in combination with the traffic.
