Willow Row Barrow is a hand-crafted monument providing a haven of peace and calm. Echoing what they meant to our ancient ancestors, Willow Row is a secular monument for the safe storage of cremation ashes, a unique venue for commemorative events and funerals. The barrow also provides a venue for education, intimate performance, and peaceful contemplation.

Visited this splendid mosque on a warm September day. As you enter the mosque, immediately you are in the beautiful Islamic garden sorrounded by trees, plants and a water fountain/ oasis. Very peaceful and relaxing as it opens after 11.30am. A great way to start the day before prayer times. We entered the inside of the mosque at 1pm due to covid restrictions. Staff were very helpful. Had our temperature checked, signed in and all other precautions were taken before entering the prayer hall. Architecture in the main prayer hall was stunning beautiful. This mosque is Europe’s first eco mosque. Lovely place for prayer and contemplation.

This imposing English Gothic structure was built between 1446 and 1515, and is the site where many great scholars were educated.

We had originally planned for the four of us to attend choral evensong and were queuing outside in the very chilly evening breeze having arrived slightly early. As we waited, a verger in full robes came along the length of the queue explaining that we would soon be admitted into the cosy and warm environment of the chapel and further that, because it was the Feast of St. Andrew, the service would be a full sung eucharist. This was an amazing and completely unexpected bonus. We all found the service and world class choral accompaniment a very moving experience. I doubt that any of us will ever forget it. Thankyou choristers, priest and servers for allowing us the privilege of worshipping with you.
7. Emmanuel College

Part of the University of Cambridge, this college was founded by Sir Walter Mildmay in 1584 on the site of a former priory of the Dominican Order, known as the Black Friars or Preachers.

Besides visiting for the wonderful architecture and the history of the college, Emmanuel has some wonderful trees in its gardens, these are worth a visit in themselves. Each garden has magnificent trees, to the left of the chapel there is a tunnel which leads under Emmanuel Sreet to a court with yet more. A very useful tree map can be downloaded from the Emmanuel site but I reccomend you also take a tree recognition book.

9. Ely Cathedral

With its unique 14th century octagonal lantern tower, Ely Cathedral is counted among the wonders of the medieval world. Much of the Cathedral is over 900 years old and it offers a rich architectural and historical experience, including the sumptuous 13th century Quire and beautiful 14th century Lady Chapel, the largest in the UK.

Ely Cathedral is a sublime experience. You can be adventurous and climb the roof and see the octagon, you can marvel at the colours and devotional aspects of the stained glass museum, or just be amazed by vaulted ceilings and the purity of the Lady Chapel. Check the website and go to evensong to gain an appreciation of the purity of the human voice and the tradition of sacred music.
10. Great St Mary's Church (Church of England)
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 328 reviews
Overlooking the market place in the centre of Cambridge, this beautiful church dates back to 1205 - even older than the University of Cambridge! Great St Mary's was built, rebuilt, burned and built again over the centuries. The current building is largely Tudor. King Henry VII donated 100 oak trees to build its roof and Queen Elizabeth I visited the church in 1564 and gave an impressive Latin speech to the assembled scholars. Interactive touchscreens and a short film about royal Cambridge offer a perfect introduction to the history of Cambridge. Visitors can climb the tower for stunning views of King's College Chapel and the city. We also offer brass rubbing and children's activities during busier times of year. Great St Mary's is the church at the heart of Cambridge and hosts regular services, concerts, debates and community events.

It's a lovely 500 year old gothic church and you can get a fantastic 360 degree view of Cambridge from the tower.
