In the spring, you can see Cambridge in bloom and still get an insight into the Cambridge Colleges even when they are closed for exam term. In the summer, the days are longer, you can go punting into the evenings and see the sun setting. In the autumn you can enjoy the fantastic colours that nature’s firework show put on, as well as enjoying the sights.
