Cambridge, like Oxford its ___________ rival, grew out of an association of ________ who settled in one place and founded the colleges. According to tradition, Cambridge – Britain’s second oldest University – was founded in 1209 when a group of scholars fled Oxford after a _________ with local townspeople.

Smaller and less urban than Oxford, Cambridge is, nevertheless, a lively place full of ________ museums and galleries, theatres, an improving restaurant scene and pubs.

The colleges themselves, which together have produced more Nobel Prize _______ than any university in the world, are masterpieces of Medieval, Tudor and Jacobean architecture. Among the standouts open to visitors, Kings College Chapel, with its soaring thistle vaulted ceiling, is a must.

From April to September, Cambridge can be packed with tourists who arrive on buses, stay a few hours and skedaddle. But train services from London are frequent and journey times relatively short so it’s a shame not to linger a bit longer to explore some of the lovely gardens along the Backs (where Cambridge colleges back up onto the River Cam). Because of the crowds, many of the colleges now charge an _______ fee to visit their grounds and limit opening hours.
