Cambridge American Cemetery and Memorial
Military cemetery
👍 This cemetery was very beautiful, I felt very emotional reading about how amazingly brave the soldiers were in the war.

The Manor, Hemingford Grey
Manor house
👍👍 This is a magical place- particularly if you have read the book as a child. We were lucky to have glorious autumn sunshine. Wandering around the garden after putting our £5 in the honesty box was an absolute pleasure. So much still in flower. We weren't able to tour the house but that's something...

Museum
🫤 A very comprehensive collection of local historic objects but sadly lacking in meta data to explain their context (with the exception of the historic transport collection which was excellent). These comments shouldn't undermine the dedication that has gone into gathering and curating the museum. Oth...
