  • Cambridge Club Site the Backs and Colleges Walk
    Cambridge Club Site The Camping and Caravanning Backs and colleges walk Route Summary A walk of approximately 15.6km/9.7 miles taking you along the River Cam into the heart of Cambridge via the world- famous Backs. The return leg passes some of the city's colleges, museums and other historical sights, with the opportunity to make detours to many other interesting landmarks. Route Overview Category: Walking Rating: Unrated Surface: Smooth Date Published: 21st September 2018 Difficulty: Easy Length: 15.540 km / 9.71 mi Last Modified: 21st September 2018 Description This walk takes you from the seclusion of the Camping and Caravanning Club Site on the outskirts of Trumpington to historic and beautiful Grantchester, following cycleways and pathways. It then ambles along meadows at the side of the River Cam into the city centre, passing through The Backs and into the bustling small lanes and alleys around the colleges. The return journey shows the other side of the colleges, with museums and other places of interest to enjoy along the route back. Before reaching the beautiful setting of Grantchester a small weir is passed, part of a local nature reserve. It is alleged that the romantic poet Lord Byron swam in the river at this spot. Hence it now goes by the name Byron’s Pool. There has been a settlement in the area called Grantchester since pre-historic times, but the greatest influence on the village has been from the Cambridge Colleges from the 1300s onwards. Corpus Christie and King’s College have been the most influential, with the latter being Lord of the Manor.

  • It Is Difficult to Think of Cambridge Without
    It is difficult to think of Cambridge without picturing the River Cam – images of the colleges across the Backs, of students punting along the water, or rowers practicing at high speed are all immediately recognizable as part of the Cambridge experience. The Cam is a special river, not least because, unusually, it is named after the city of Cambridge and not the other way around. Boats have been navigating the River Cam since the Romans, and over hundreds of years it was used by traders to bring the goods that built the colleges and supplied the city. Once the railway arrived in Cambridge in the mid-19th century, the river slowly stopped being used in an industrial capacity, and was increasingly used for leisure and entertainment. Punting The River Cam is so shallow that many traders and anglers used ‘punts’ – flat bottomed boats with square-ends, pushed along the river by a pole. In the early 20th Century, these punts began being used by residents and tourists for ‘pleasure punting’ up and down the River. Punting is also common in Oxford, but interestingly, the 'punter' - the person propelling the boat forward - stands at the back of the boat in Cambridge, and at the front of the boat in Oxford. Today, punting is still the number one activity when visiting Cambridge, and it is thought that the River Cam has more punts on it than any other river in the UK. Each year, students at Reach Cambridge have a chance to try punting for themselves! The Backs You don’t just have to punt down the River Cam – many people hire rowboats, canoes or even kayaks! A typical trip takes you down ‘the Backs’ – along the river that runs behind some of the most famous colleges, and right through the heart of Cambridge.
