Sights

In Trinity Hall

davidx

Understandably, but unfortunately for visitors, a number of colleges charge for admission to their grounds/chapels. In spite of this few will want to miss King's College with its fabulous perpendicular style chapel. It is interesting how they manage to edit history a bit and in their exhibitions make virtually no reference to the mental health of the founder, Henry VI. However this chapel is a stunning sight.

It might be useful, however, to know of some places which do not charge.

St. Johns College

Edit This

Contains the often photographed Bridge of Sighs. From the grand Chapel with its imposing tower, to the beautiful verdant 'backs'; from 15th century courts to 19th century courts, this is arguably one of the most beautiful colleges in Cambridge.

Trinity College - the Backs

Edit This

Trinity College is the richest and the biggest of the Oxbridge colleges. Facing the River Cam is the College's Wren Library. Just outside of this is a beautiful scene of greenery - fields, meadows, however you want to call it - called the Backs. Here, you can enjoy the view of the river, play football with the locals, punt, or just enjoy a good book. To get to the Backs you must use the side entrance of the college. Not to worry, admission is free.

'Free' Colleges

Edit This

There may well be more than this - or one or more of these may start charging - but as at 22August 2004 there was no charge for entry to Pembroke College [lovely gardens and Wren's first building - the chapel], Trinity Hall and Peterhouse.
