Cambridge is home to one of the finest educational institutions in the world, the University of Cambridge. The 31 colleges of the university contribute to much of Cambridge’s superb architecture. As well as being home to an array of fantastic buildings, Cambridge and Cambridgeshire is also blessed with extensive natural beauty to see. Renting a car in Cambridge enables to discover all the delights of the city and the surrounding area.
As a university city Cambridge consequentially has a fantastic cultural scene, with some great art galleries and museums. So after you’ve roamed the grounds of the university we recommend a visit to Fitzwilliam Museum which houses artwork by the likes of Leonardo da Vinci and Picasso. Just over 15 miles from Cambridge, on the River Great Ouse is the market town of St Ives. Though not as well known as its namesake in Cornwall, this Cambridgeshire town is popular amongst tourists for its traditionally English character as well as its twice-monthly farmers market. Cambridgeshire is a county with a number of traditional villages and towns, so rent a car in the Cambridge and explore the area.
