It is also possible to find a restaurant of many different cuisines in this town, with most of them either family run or owned by fishermen.
As this town is steeped in history, it is best to explore on foot, as this will give you the chance to see the antiquated railway lines and trams, which will take you back to the past.
To the north of the town there is a selection of shopping stores and cafes where you can buy gifts and souvenirs, such as locally produced smoked oysters, Aberdeen Angus burgers and many more.
Head downtown to find the recently renovated Century Theater, which is showing a wide variety of films. In the back of the theater you can see a reflection of where this town once stood before the fishing industry took off.
If you are here on a sunny weekend, you may want to spend a few minutes outside the theater enjoying the sights, before and after the film.
From the Century Theater, walk down the street to the Forest Holiday Gardens, a nice place to have an afternoon lunch and relax over a picnic lunch of fresh Poppy.
If you have an extra day, visit the shops in the Old Town which include B Beaver’s, Peny’s, the Bulldog,ffe’s, the Brownie, Sphinx and much more.
For several centuries, Cambridge was the seat of the Hanseatic League, the richest and most influential group of merchants in all of England. The name comes from the city’s hill, Mount hopeful or Mountakers, which was the place they held their annual meetings.
When they decided to build a trading post in 1625, they were not only constructing a trading post but they were also building a town, cutting down one of the most unsuitable towns in southern England.
Today, Cambridge is a vibrant town with plenty to offer.
The town promotes a wide range of shopping and eating facilities. Its streets are filled with optician shops, antique shops, jewellery stores, numerous cafes and bars, as well as good old pubs. Nightlife is plentiful in Cambridge, but remember there is a tradition of caution and embarrassment still evident in many of the pubs.
The best Cambridge wedding chapels are found in Regent’s Park. A quaint chapel in Spring Gardens can also be a great place for a wedding chapel.
There are many other hotels and guest houses in nearby towns.
Fortunately, you don’t have to embrace Cambridge wholeheartedly; many of us can happily enjoy the excellent educational and literary facilities only a small distance from the city.
Cambridge is a glorious mix of the old and the new: the fine Regency and Georgian buildings co-exist with acres of modern apartments.
Fortunately, as well as Cambridge, this city has many other historic and beautiful sites and regions in which to live.
Fortunately, it is also home to some of Britain’s finest university towns, including my own home town of Exeter.
