Cambridge - Cambridge

For andre steder med samme navn, se Cambridge (tvetydighed).

King's College Chapel og punters på River Cam, set fra The Backs.

Cambridge er en universitetsby i Cambridgeshire i England. Det er en by med krokuser og påskeliljer på bagsiden, med grønne åbne områder og kvæg, der græsser kun 450 meter fra markedspladsen. Køer vandrer nogle gange ind på markedsområdet, da de ikke er indhegnet. Cambridge i Brooke, Byron, Newton og Rutherford, sommerens idyl af punts, 'bumps', cool pil og May Balls er værd at se.

Forstå

King's Parade i centrum af Cambridge med University Senate House til venstre og Great St Mary's Church til højre.

Cambridge bringer mange billeder i tankerne: den betagende udsigt over King's College Chapel fra den anden side af floden Cam, den rige indvikling af gotisk arkitektur, studerende, der cykler til forelæsninger, og doven sommer, der peger på River Cam.

Cambridge formår at kombinere sin rolle som en historisk by med et verdenskendt universitet og siden det 20. århundrede et internationalt anerkendt ekspertisecenter for teknologi og videnskab. Det University of Cambridge blev grundlagt i 1209 af forskere, der forlader Oxford efter en tvist med byfolk. De valgte den stille by Cambridge som et passende sted at studere. I det 17. århundrede uddannede Cambridge University mange af grundlæggerne af et amerikansk universitet ved navn Harvard, som også er et sted kaldet Cambridge (opkaldt efter det engelske universitet). Cambridge University har mange berømte alumner, herunder: matematikere som Sir Isaac Newton, forskere som Stephen Hawking og Charles Darwin, filosoffer som Bertrand Russell og Ludwig Wittgenstein og forfattere som John Milton og Lord Byron. Det var stedet for Rutherfords banebrydende arbejde inden for atomfysik og Crick og Watsons DNA-arbejde (se Eagle pub nedenfor). Cambridge-akademikere har vundet flere nobelpriser end noget andet universitet i verden. Rygterne om, at kun et college, Trinity, havde flere nobelprisvindere end Frankrig, er imidlertid falsk.

Byen er omgivet af alle sider af kulturarv landsbyer, byer og gamle monumenter (såsom Ely og Peterborough), alt inden for nem rejseafstand. Ligesom Oxford blev Cambridge skånet for den tyske tæppebombning, der ødelagde mange andre britiske byer under Anden Verdenskrig og er således en af ​​de bedst bevarede middelalderlige byer i Storbritannien.

Mere end 6 millioner besøgende kommer til Cambridge hvert år for at nyde lækkerierne i den historiske by. Selve byen er ret kompakt med mange af de største attraktioner i let gåafstand. Cambridge er et ideelt udgangspunkt for at udforske nogle af de mildeste (læs fladeste; god til afslappede vandreture, dårlig for bakker med synspunkter) og det mest uspolerede landskab i England.

Hop ind

Cambridge ligger kun 80 km nord for London. Med gode jernbanetjenester og vejkommunikationsforbindelser er Cambridge let tilgængelig, uanset om du rejser i bil eller med offentlig transport.

Med fly

Cambridge er inden for rækkevidde af nogle, men ikke alle Londons internationale lufthavne.

London Stansted lufthavn (STN ^IATA) ligger 48 km derfra og har regelmæssige bus- og jernbaneforbindelser til Cambridge. Direkte jernbanetrafik afgår hver time (til Birmingham New Street) og tag cirka 35 minutter med en returpris £ 16,00. For hyppigere tjenester skal du tage Stansted Express til London fra platform 1 og skifte ved Bishops's Stortford eller Stansted Mountfitchet, der tager cirka 50 minutter. Jernbanetjenester kan være utilgængelige, hvis din flyvning ankommer Stansted meget sent eller afgår meget tidligt på dagen, og mens lufthavnen kan lide at annoncere timetjenester, er der nogle mærkelige huller i tidsplanen, så tjek tavlerne, inden du køber en billet, og gå til busterminalen, hvis der ikke er noget fornuftigt at tilbyde. National Express-busser kører mellem Cambridge og Stansted (inklusive sent om aftenen) og tager cirka 50 minutter med priser fra £ 12. Abacus Airport Cars Cambridge kører der fra £ 47 en vej.

Luton lufthavn (LTN ^IATA) nås bedst af National Express Coach, der tager ca. 1 time og 40 minutter med priser fra omkring £ 26, men disse kører kun hver anden time eller deromkring.

London Stansted og London Luton lufthavne tilbyder mange af de billigste internationale flyrejser, der findes i Europa, med mange af de store billige europæiske flyselskaber som Easyjet, Ryanair, Jet2 og TUIfly, der har en hub i en af ​​disse to lufthavne.

London Gatwick lufthavn (LGW ^IATA) har nu en direkte Thameslink-jernbanetjeneste pr. time til Cambridge og tager omkring 1 time og 55 minutter med en enkeltpris på £ 35,50. Alternativt kræver yderligere to tjenester i timen skift mellem London St Pancras og det tilstødende London King's Cross. Gatwick er den mindst bekvemme London-lufthavn i bil, idet den er på den modsatte side af London, kræver en rundvisning på ringvejen M25 i London og tager omkring 3 timer. Abacus Airport Cars Cambridge kører der fra £ 100 en vej. Der er en National Express-busforbindelse tilgængelig igen omkring 3 timer (og den M25 igen).

London Heathrow Lufthavn (LHR ^IATA) er 90-120 minutter væk med bil, afhængigt af trafik.

National Express-busser til og fra Heathrow centrale busstation tager cirka 2½ time med priser fra £ 36 (sep.2019).

Med jernbane er der to muligheder, som begge skal tage cirka 2 timer:

• Tag Heathrow Express fra Heathrow Railstation ved terminal 2 og 3 (der er ingen ekstra omkostninger for overførsel mellem terminal 4 og 5 til terminal 2 & 3) til London Paddington (PAD), denne service afgår ca. hvert 15. minut. Fra London Paddington skal du tage røret (Hammersmith og City line eller Circle line) til London Kings Cross (LGX) og derefter tage et tog til Cambridge (CBG). De samlede omkostninger ved reservation mere end 3 måneder i forvejen skal være mindre end 20 £ en vej og £ 30 retur. Hvis du køber billetter til Heathrow Express om bord eller i lufthavnen, kan du forvente at betale £ 35 enkelt og £ 55 retur. Denne kørselsmetode reducerer den tid, der bruges på røret til mindre end 15 minutter, hvilket er tilrådeligt ved spidsbelastningstider (7 AM-9AM, 4 PM-6PM).
• Tag røret (Piccadilly-linjen) fra London Heathrow underground Terminals 2,3,4 eller 5 til London Kings Cross (LGX) eller (skift ved Holborn til Central Line) til London Liverpool Street (LST). Derfra tager du et tog til Cambridge (CBG). Priser fra Kings Cross £ 25,10 enkelt og £ 38,70 off-peak retur; fra Liverpool street £ 18,90 off-peak single og £ 27,50 off-peak retur. Billetprisen uden for peak mellem Heathrow og det centrale London er £ 3,10 med kontaktløs. Denne rejsemetode er den billigste metode med jernbane, men involverer ca. 1 times rørrejse, hvilket ikke tilrådes i spidsbelastningstider (7 AM-9AM, 4 PM- 18:00).

Abacus lufthavn Biler til Cambridge koster £ 85,00 en vej.

London City lufthavn (LCY ^IATA) nås bedst med tog til King's Cross eller Liverpool Street som Heathrow, derefter Underground og Docklands Light Railway over London (tube / DLR koster £ 2,80 off-peak single med kontaktløs). Abacus Airport Cars Cambridge kører der fra £ 77 en vej.

Cambridge har sin egen lufthavn - Cambridge International Airport (CBG ^IATA) - i den østlige udkant af byen det er 10 minutter fra det historiske centrum. Det har dog ikke længere nogen rutefly.

Med tog

Wikivoyage har en guide til Togrejser i Det Forenede Kongerige.

Regelmæssige tog kører fra London (Kongens kors og Liverpool Street) til Cambridge. De hurtigste "Cambridge Cruiser" -tjenester til og fra King's Cross kører non-stop og tager under 50 min. Afgår normalt kl: 15 og: 45 minutter efter timen. "Semi-hurtige" tjenester stopper ved et par mellemstationer og tager cirka 65 min. Langsommere stoppende tog kan tage op til 90 min. Forsøg at undgå at tage et tog med mere end 8 stop mellem Cambridge og London King's Cross for at undgå de langsomste tog. Tog til og fra London Liverpool Street tager alle ca. 75 min. Hvis du køber super uden for peak-billetter, er disse de billigste tilgængelige, med £ 13 dages returrejse. Direkte tog fra Stansted lufthavn til Cambridge tager 35 min. (Tag tog fra Stansted i retning af Birmingham). Fordi Cambridge er et af hovedkrydsene for East Anglia jernbanenet, kører tog også til og fra Ipswich, Norwich, Peterborough og Birmingham. Se National Rail for køre- og billetinformation.

Du kan købe en overnatning Skinne og sejl billet fra Cambridge til hvor som helst i Holland for omkring £ 80 ved hjælp af Harwich-Hook of Holland færgeruten. Sørg for, at du vælger den rigtige billet, men du kan finde tilbud, der dækker færgen (inklusive et værelse og en seng) og rejse mellem Cambridge til en hvilken som helst station i Holland. Afgange fra Cambridge er omkring kl. 19:00; går den anden vej, ankommer du lidt før 10:00. (Der er også dagtidsfærger, men togtiderne betyder, at du ikke kan foretage nogen togforbindelse.)

52.1940.1381 Cambridge jernbanestation ligger ca. 2 km syd for byens centrum; der er regelmæssige busser til byen og en taxaholdeplads uden for stationen. Stationen har et bemandet rejsecenter, selvbetjeningsbilletmaskiner (mange tager kun europæiske smartchip-kort og accepterer ikke kontanter) og automatiske billetbarrierer (du har brug for din billet for at få begge i og ud af stationen). Vær opmærksom på at købe billetter, da der ofte er kø ved maskinerne og ingen ved billetvinduerne. Der er også pengeautomater, flere caféer og en boghandel på platformen, der kun er tilgængelig for billetholdere og et mini-supermarked i stationsfoyeren. Stationen er meget lang med flere tog parkeret ende-til-ende på hovedplatformen, så du skal muligvis gå langt mellem togene, hvis du har en tæt forbindelse.

52.2230.1362 Cambridge North jernbanestation er beliggende i den nordøstlige del af byen og betjenes af tog til og fra London, Kings Lynn og Norwich. Denne station er praktisk for Cambridge Science Park, men der er få turistattraktioner i denne del af byen.

Efter cyklus

Cambridge har det højeste niveau af cyklusbrug i enhver by i Storbritannien.

Cambridge er meget tilgængeligt ved cyklus, og den lokale regering tilskynder til bæredygtige rejser (såsom gåture og cykling). National Cycle Network ruter 11 og 51 passerer begge gennem byen, og Cambridge serveres også med et omfattende lokalt cykelnetværk. Inden for byen er cykling et almindeligt middel til at komme rundt. Cykler kan lejes fra en række forretninger, herunder Station Cycles (placeret lige nord for jernbanestationen), Station Cycles 'centrale filial (placeret på etage -1 i Grand Arcade shoppingcenter) og fra City Cycle Hire (på den vestlige kanten af ​​byens centrum, i en forstad til Newnham).

Nogle hurtige noter om cykeletikette: cykling på fortovet (fortov) er normalt ikke tilladt, medmindre der er en specifikt underskrevet cykelbane til delt brug; at cykle på vejen er altid tilladt, selvom der findes en fælles vognbane (men det kan være, at dette irriterer bilisterne). Envejsgader gælder for cykler, medmindre der er en cykelbane til kørsel i den modsatte retning. Respekter røde trafiklys, og brug altid cykluslys i mørke. Hvis du bliver fanget uden lys, kan du betale en bøde på stedet på £ 30. Overhold reglerne, selvom mange andre bryder dem.

Med bil

Parkering kan være vanskelig i det centrale Cambridge (den bedste parkering, hvis du er parat til at betale, er i Grand Arcade i centrum af byen), og envejs-gadesystemet er ekstremt forvirrende. Rådet anbefaler brugen af ​​"Park and Ride" -ordningen (£ 1 til parkering og en returbillet på £ 2,70).

• Cambridge er forbundet til London primært med M11 eller A10.
• Fra nord skal du komme ud af A1 til A14.
• Fra West og North West London og Hertfordshire, A1 (M) og A505 via Letchworth og Hitchin er en ret hurtig alternativ rute, der undgår M25 (især i spidsbelastningstrafik).
• A421 / A428 er også værd at overveje, hvis man kører fra Milton Keynes og Bedford.

Med bus

National Express tilbyder busforbindelser til større byer rundt om i landet, herunder direkte forbindelser til London Victoria og Birmingham samt hyppige lufthavnsbusser til Luton, Stansted, Heathrow og Gatwick. National Express-busser afgår fra Parkside ved siden af ​​Parker's Piece-park, cirka en halv kilometer fra byens centrum. Mange tjenester stopper også ved Trumpington og Madingley Road Park og Ride-websteder.

Busstationen til kortere afstandsbusser ligger på Drummer Street, bekvemt placeret for alle de vigtigste seværdigheder. Stagecoach køre ruter fra Cambridge til Bedford, Ely, Peterborough (via en forbindelse i Chatteris), Newmarket, Saffron Walden, Bury St. Edmunds og Oxford.

Flere forskellige busselskaber (især Stagecoach og Whippet Coaches) opererer i Cambridge og det omkringliggende område, og billetter til et selskab er muligvis derfor ikke gyldige på busruter, der drives af andre virksomheder. Tjenesten er notorisk uregelmæssig, og det er bedst at forlade omkring halvdelen så meget tid igen til en rejse, da busserne ofte er forsinket / aflyst / langsom, og hvis der skal oprettes en hurtig forbindelse, undgås de bedst, især "citi "mærkebusser: gå eller tag en taxa.

"Åh fantastisk" siger elektronen, "nu er jeg tabt" - intellektuel college-joke

Cambridge er for det meste fodgængervenligt: ​​de fleste seværdigheder kan nemt nås til fods og meget af det centrale område er trafikfrit. Nogle af fortovene er delt brug mellem fodgængere og cyklister; dette kan fange dig ud, medmindre du holder øje med det. Cambridge vandreture kan planlægges online med walkit.com gå rute planlægger. Studerende og lokale bruger ofte cykler til at komme rundt og leje en cykel^{[dødt link]} er et levedygtigt alternativ til bare at gå.

Du kan også vælge en hop-on, hop-off open-top sightseeing bus som giver kommentarer på flere sprog. Sightseeingbussen passerer jernbanestationen, den amerikanske kirkegård og mange af de historiske colleges, men da byens centrum er fodgængere, kan den nærme sig de mere centrale colleges kun på søndage.

Der er lidt behov for at bruge det lokale busforbindelser medmindre du opholder dig i et fjerntliggende område i byen, men de er rene og effektive, hvis du har brug for det. Citi-busser koster mellem £ 1 og £ 2 for individuelle kontantpriser inden for Cambridge City (ændring er givet, men chauffører kan afvise store sedler), men fortæl bare chaufføren din destination, mens du går om bord, og tag din billet fra maskinen. Et heldagspas koster £ 4,50 for Cambridge City og Park and Ride-tjenester eller £ 7,00 for det omkringliggende område.

Cambridge byråd fraråder brug af bil. Parkeringsafgifterne er høje, og byen er hjemsted for et system af stigende pullerter der tillader køretøjer med passende transpondere (f.eks. taxaer, busser, udrykningskøretøjer) igennem, men kan forårsage alvorlig skade på andre køretøjer, der er bagud, ofte til det punkt, hvor de afskrives.

Uber ride-hagl er tilgængelig, og der er mange taxiselskaber i Cambridge.

Kollegier

Cambridge har en række interessante moderne bygninger, for eksempel Center for Mathematical Sciences

Cambridge University består af en række semi-uafhængige colleges, mange centrale, nogle op til 5 miles fra byens centrum (traditionelt målt fra Great St. Marys kirke). Følgende er et godt valg til sightseeing. De fleste colleges inden for det centrale område er et besøg værd, hvis du har tid.

Nogle colleges koster adgang. Det kan være dyrt, omkring £ 5 pr. Person eller mere. Hvis du er venner med en studerende, har de lov til at bringe en besøgende gratis ind. Kollegier er typisk lukket for besøgende i løbet af universitetets eksamensperiode, i slutningen af ​​maj og den første uge i juni.

Husk at være respektfuld, når du besøger gymnasierne. De er studerendes hjem store dele af året, og arbejdsbyrden og presset ved universitetet kan være enormt. Gå ikke ind i bygninger, du ikke udtrykkeligt er inviteret til, stirr ikke ind i folks vinduer, og vær høflig, når du tager billeder; være særlig diskret i bibliotekerne. Husk altid, at collegernes rolle først og fremmest er akademiske institutioners rolle; de er ikke der for turister, og det er uhøfligt at gøre noget, der hindrer eller generer de mennesker, der bor og arbejder i dem.

	COVID-19 Information: På grund af Covid-19-pandemi, colleges er lukket for besøgende fra august 2020.

Kirker

The colleges (see above) all have chapels which can be visited, but town churches also offer a rich insight into the history of the town and university, and are usually free.

Punting is a popular activity in Cambridge

• Explore the backs. It's free, and gives you a real flavour of the city. You can walk through King's College, onto King's Parade, a beautiful row of exclusive shops. You can also experience the backs by punt which is extremely popular.
• Punting. 9:30AM-dusk daily. If anything is stereotypically 'Cambridge', this is it. Punting involves propelling a flat bottomed boat with a long wooden pole (quant) by pushing a pole against the shallow river bottom. For the full effect, take strawberries and Champagne to quaff as you glide effortlessly down the river. You can either travel along the famous College Backs or head out towards the village of Grantchester. Guided tours are also available from around £20.00 per person on the day. Save by booking online at (Rutherford's Punting Cambridge, Let's Go & Traditional Punting Website og Cambridge Chauffeur Punts. If you're up for more of an adventure, try it out for yourself on a self-hire boat Scudamore's Punting Company eller Trinity College Hire. Pay per hour per punt for a quick trip along the College Backs, if you want longer it's cheaper to hire a punt for the day from Scudamore's for £120 - well worth it in summer when you head out towards Grantchester. A deposit (e.g. a credit card) is required. In fact if you turn up in the summer you'll find it hard not to go punting as touts assail you from all sides on the Quayside and Mill Pond streets. Punting to Grantchester (upriver) takes about an hour and a half for an experienced punter, and the complete journey would be difficult for first-timers. Along the Grantchester route there are riverbanks on the way for mooring up with meadowland suitable for picnics (Note that pranksters have been known to push unattended punts out into the river.)
• Walking tours. Guided walking tours are available all year round with a range of walking tours to choose from. These tours can be tailored to suit group interest with the central tourist office a good place start. There is also the option to experience Cambridge virtually with some University Colleges providing their own tours. Disse inkluderer King's College og St John's College med en city virtual tour også tilgængelig.
• Roning. Cambridge is renowned for rowing on the Cam. All colleges and some schools have their own clubs, and there are over half a dozen large 'town' clubs. There are a number of regattas and head races on the river throughout the year, though the highlight in the rowing calendar on the Cam is the annual bumping races. For College crews, the 'May' bumps are in June, for the local clubs, this normally is the fourth week in July. Over four evenings of racing (Tuesday - Friday), eights attempt to gain higher position by catching the crew ahead of them before being 'bumped' by the crew behind. Races take place downstream (north) of the city, between the A-14 road bridge and the railway bridge at Stourbridge Common, and are best viewed from the towpath alongside the river, or from the Plough pub in Fen Ditton, both accessible by foot from the town centre - words of warning though - if on the towpath side, be careful for the massive number of bikes that accompany the crews racing, if in the pub, you may not get a seat, and beer prices are at a premium.
• Cycling. Rent a bicycle and bike the mostly flat terrain around Cambridge. Popular destinations are Grantchester (3 km), American Cemetery (5 km), along River Cam towpath to Milton Country Park (5 km), Wicken Fen (12 km), Duxford Imperial War Museum especially during air-shows (15 km) and Ely (23 km).

The target of many a punt journey up the river Cam from Cambridge, the Orchard is a famous tea rooms with a long list of famous patrons that include Rupert Brooke, Virginia Woolf, E.M. Forster and Bertrand Russell. Taking tea in The Orchard is a well-established Cambridge tradition. Planted with apple trees, the large garden of The Orchard is perfect for lounging on a deck chair in the sun with a cup of tea and a scone for sustenance. Long queues can be expected on sunny days, but there is always room to be found in the garden. Immortalised by the poet Rupert Brooke in his 1912 poem The Old Vicarage, Grantchester, Grantchester is a favourite amongst both tourists and students travelling upstream from Cambridge by punt to eat a picnic in the meadows or at the tea gardens called The Orchard. The story goes that in 1897 a group of Cambridge students persuaded the owner of Orchard House to serve them tea, and this subsequently became a regular practice. Later lodgers at Orchard House included the poet Rupert Brooke, who later moved next door to the Old Vicarage (built c. 1685). In 1912, while in Berlin, he would write his well-known poem The Old Vicarage, Grantchester, in which Brooke recalled happy days in the idyllic English surroundings of Cambridgeshire. (The Old Vicarage is now the home of the novelist Lord Jeffrey Archer of Weston-super-Mare.)

Pas på dig selv

Although Cambridge is one of the safest cities in the UK, you should still use your common sense at night and be careful in badly-lit areas outside the city centre. As of 2019, pick-pockets are taking advantage of the throngs of tourists on King's Parade and the nearby shops; keep an eye on valuables. It is wise to be on your guard around Regent Street & St Andrew's Street after midnight with anti-social behaviour due to people leaving pubs and nightclubs.

If you have a bike, keep it locked up to a solid object with a strong lock (preferably a D-lock), as cycle theft is big business. There are cycle parking places with cycle stands to lock you bike to, in several places around the city centre and at the railway station. "Secure" covered cycle parking with CCTV surveillance and cycle stands is available in the lower section of the Park Street car park and at the Grand Arcade cycle park.

The city's police station is on Parkside which is next door to the city's fire station. The opening times of the enquiry office is every day 8AM-10PM and bank holidays 9AM-5PM. There are a couple of smaller stations in the nearby villages of Histon and Sawston. The opening time of the enquiry office is for Histon, Mondays; 4PM-8PM, Wednesdays to Fridays; 8AM - midday, with Tuesdays, weekends and bank holidays closed. For Sawston, it is Wednesdays to Friday; 1PM-5PM, Mondays, weekends and bank holidays closed. The non-emergency contact number is 101, calls are fixed rate of £0.15 on landlines and mobiles.

The city's Accident and Emergency department (Casualty department) is located at Addenbrooke's Hospital on Hills Road, south of the city centre.

• Grantchester: Take a day trip to enjoy the countryside and have scones and tea at Frugtplantagen. With a long history of famous patrons such as Rupert Brooke, Virginia Woolf, EM Forster and Bertrand Russell, taking tea in The Orchard is a well established tradition. This large garden planted with apple trees is perfect for lounging on a deck chair in the sun with a cup of tea and a scone for sustenance. Or head out by punt with a picnic hamper.
• Great and Little Gransden Glimpse the real England! Take a bus (30 mins or so, bus no. 18, or 18A) from Drummer Street to the tiny ancient villages of Little and Great Gransden, which appear in the Magna Carta. Brimming with thatched cottage charm, horses and peaceful country walks, these villages offer escape into English village life. Pub food is available in both villages. Explore the ancient churchyards, the doll path in the meadow between them, and enjoy a leisurely hike around this tranquil village area.

You could even join a horse trek. The undulating road offers wonderful views across farm land, and the ancient Waresly Wood, some of which is National Trust property. The 17th century open trestle post mill Vindmølle between The Gransden villages is unusually intact. It was last operational in 1912.
