A cathedral, country houses, a fen, an airfield and a market town, each a short journey from the city.
These pages cover places beyond the city boundary that fit into a day out from Cambridge: Ely Cathedral, Anglesey Abbey, Wimpole Estate, Audley End House, Wicken Fen, IWM Duxford and Saffron Walden. Each page gives opening times and prices only where the venue's own website stated them, with the date they were checked.
The day trips guide lists them together. For somewhere nearer, the Grantchester area page covers the village at the end of the meadows path, and Grantchester Meadows has its own page.
