We’re taking it laid back and classy this week (with the option to go a bit more energetic), by visiting the elegant University city of Cambridge. This wonderful evocative city comes alive as the students return, with gowns sweeping across the college quads, and bicycles thronging the cobbled streets.

Cambridge combines the best in a compact space; incredible architecture, the world famous Fitzwilliam museum, boutique shopping, and a wealth of bars and restaurants. A green city too, the centre is bisected by large, leafy parks and threaded through by the tranquil river Cam.

Grant Moorings, based beside Darwin College in the heart of the city, are famous for taking punt tours to stir the most hardened hard to romantic inclinations for 30 years. Crewed by boating blue students clad in traditional waistcoats and blazers, the whole enjoyable experience epitomises epitomising everything Cambridge.

With several options, be as laid back or hands on as you want, from regular Cambridge highlights trips to the full hamper and champagne private experience, with a choice of piloted public or private punt tours, perfect for those who want to just relax and see the sights.

Adding lightweight, stable and manoeuvrable canoes to their fleet, if you prefer sitting and rowing to standing wielding a punt pole, this is for you. Granta Moorings’ canoes can accommodate up to 2 adults and 2 children, and can even be booked for multiple days, if you fancy adventuring further afield.
