Unique Places in Cambridge

on the 28th of February 1953 Frances Crick announced in the The Eagle pub that he and James Watson had mapped the double helix of DNA, this wonderful achievement earned them the Nobel Prize

on 28th February 2003 this plaque was unveiled at the Eagle by James Watson

we didnt know this when we went in the Eagle for lunch, it was raining and we just wanted somewhere dry and warm with good food, but its another example of the history that is everywhere when you walk around Cambridge

Jesus College's location away from the centre of town ensures it receives less visitors than Cambridge's better known, centrally located Colleges. However, it is well worth seeing - especially for the horse statue in the Front Quad. If anyone knows why this horse is there or what it symbolises please tell me! Have a look at my Jesus travelogue for more pictures.

In Cambridge there are two semi-professional clubs, and your nearest to the centre is at Milton Road, just north of the river. At Cambridge City you can watch a game in friendly surroundings kick off normally at 3pm Saturdays and 7.45 pm Tuesdays.

Around 500 people attend for £10 adults and £5 for under 16's. Food is available and the bar is open to all before and after the game

St. Ives (see accompanying travelogue).

St. Ives is a lovely riverside market town about 15 miles from Cambridge. It was the home of Oliver Cromwell and the markets held here on Bank Holiday Mondays are amongst the largest in the country.

Buckden - A village in Cambridshire standing right on the A1 south of Huntingdon and close to Grafham Water. Buckden is the home of the former palace of the Bishop Of Lincoln and boasts 3 great pubs/hotels (with accomodation) in a quaint village setting. Close by is Buckden marina, on the river Great Ouse, which lnks to St. Ives and eventually Ely.

Cambridge's architecture is the opportunity for many an original sight or picture, as shown here with the reflection of stained glass on the gate of Trinity Church. Do the obvious sites, but also have a look around at the details and beauty of other less famous places.
In addition to this, many churches have choir rehearsals, as was the case here. This makes it even more special.
