Cambridge
- Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. The city
of Cambridge is an old English university town and the administrative
centre of the county of Cambridgeshire. It lies approximately 50 miles
(80 km) north-northeast of London and is surrounded by a number of smaller
towns and villages. It is also at the heart of the high-technology centre
known as Silicon Fen. Cambridge is best known for the University of
Cambridge, which includes the renowned Cavendish Laboratory, King's
College Chapel, and the Cambridge University Library. The Cambridge
skyline is dominated by the last two, along with the chimney of Addenbrooke's
Hospital in the far south of the city and St John's College Chapel tower
in the north.

Country
Life Guide to Cambridge
Cambridge is a paradoxical place, for it is large and small at the same
time, a provincial city with international elements drawn from the university
and the high-tech industry (which gives it the affectionate name of
'silicon fen'). For no city in the United Kingdom can the old phrase
'ancient and modern' be so naturally used and the historic core has
much for the curious visitor. Alan Bennett recently wrote that he found
his first sight of the centre of Cambridge in the Fifties overwhelming.
He added that nothing in his life has achieved a similar level of enchantment,
except perhaps Venice.
