St Botolph's Church, Cambridge

Highlight • Religious Site

The church offers a moment of peace and contemplation in the bustle of the tourists in Cambridge. Cambridge is beautiful, but the weekend can be really busy. The peace in the church was very welcome.

May 8, 2025,🇬🇧🚐🌊🏰 GB-England - Cambridgeshire: Cambridge & Grantchester ~ Altehrwürdige Universitäten & The Orchard

We're increasingly enjoying getting up early, especially since it takes longer to do everything in a motorhome (lack of space, most things can only be done one after the other), so this morning we drove to Grantchester, a small town outside the university city of Cambridge. The guidebook had recommended a very nice hike that we wanted to do.
