​

The Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology covers two million years of human history with over one million artefacts and countless astonishing stories.

​

Kettles Yard is a beautiful house, home to one man's remarkable collection of modern art, kept largely unchanged since his departure. There is also a separate gallery that hosts modern and contemporary art exhibitions.

Punting

On a quiet day, punting is one of the most relaxing ways to take in the stunning architecture of Cambridge University and the peaceful pastures of parklands and meadows. On busier days (when the sun really comes out), the fun factor outweighs relaxation as you can expect river congestion, boats crashing and even people falling in! It’s exciting and definitely a fun experience.

​

In short, you can either do it yourself (recommended) or pay a guide to take you on a tour. If you are punting yourself the best priced place is Trinity College Punts and if you want a guided tour go for Scudamore's Quayside Punting Station.
