Cambridge and the Fens
Eight hundred years of college quadrangles, three cathedrals on the edge of England's flattest landscape.
Cambridge has 31 colleges, the oldest founded in 1284, and a river you can punt down between them. Just outside, the Fens — the flat, drained, 1,500-square-mile expanse of east England — host three of England's most beautiful cathedrals (Ely, Peterborough, Norwich) within a two-hour drive.
