Cambridge
With the spires of its university buildings framed by towering trees and expansive meadows, its medieval streets and passages enhanced by gardens and riverbanks, the city of Cambridge is among the loveliest in England. Today, Cambridge embodies a certain genteel, intellectual, and sometimes anachronistically idealized image of Englishness. Think William Wordsworth, Thackeray, Byron, Tennyson, E.M. Forster, and C.S. Lewis. The exquisite King's College choir defines the traditional English Christmas, when the Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols is broadcast live on Christmas Eve. On top of all this tradition and history, Cambridge remains a lively city and an extraordinary center of learning and research where innovation and discovery still happen behind its ancient walls.
