Tips

Midsummer Common is an area of common land close to Cambridge city centre, situated on the south bank of the River Cam. The common hosts a packed calendar of events throughout the year, including the annual Midsummer Fair, one of the oldest fairs in England, as well as Bonfire Night and Strawberry Fair. The common is grazed by a herd of Red Poll cattle between April and October each year, who can be quite inquisitive.

The Common is inhabited by a small herd of cattle, which, depending on the time of day and the mood, are very close to the visitors. As elsewhere along the River Cam, there is also some nature in the middle of the city. Accordingly, one should be mindful of where one steps in (one).
