| Our
cottages are located in one of the city's oldest residential districts, a short
walk to the north of Cambridge city centre. The centre itself is dominated by
the University Colleges, buildings occupied by University departments, offices
and shops. This central area is surrounded by tranquil parkland and the River
Cam. | | The
short walk into central Cambridge is picturesque. The most direct route takes
you along historic Castle Street, past Castle Mound, the oldest part of the city
once housing the Roman fort and Norman castle, before crossing the river into
the central district at Magdalene Bridge. Alternatively, choose the slightly longer
route through quaint residential backstreets, over the River Cam at Jesus Green
Lock and through the wonderful avenues
of trees
and
open lawns
of Jesus Green park. |

Street bridge (the
