Cambridge and the Suffolk Villages

 

Cambridge. The other ancient university city with its quaint mixture of "town and gown" and entrance to the Fen country where Hereward the Wake defied the Normans. It was this area that thousands of US airmen called home during WWII.


This tour could include a visit to:


The National Stud at Newmarket


Ely, where the mighty cathedral towers on the island defended by Hereward. It was also a stronghold of the republicans during the civil war and Oliver Cromwell lived there for about 11 years for 1636.


Lavenham.


A medieval picture village with its market place lined with 16thC half timbered buildings including the Guildhall.


Duxford. This Battle of Britain fighter station is now home to most of the Imperial War Museum's military aircraft, armoured fighting vehicles and midget submarines.


Audley End. Audley End house is a 17thC house built by Thomas Howard, Earl of Suffolk and houses some priceless paintings and furnishings.
