Bikes, the river Cam, and a flat city built for buggies

Cambridge is flat, which is a bigger deal than you'd think when you're pushing a buggy all day. The whole city is walkable and cyclable, and there are green spaces threaded throughout. The Backs, Midsummer Common, Grantchester Meadows; it's a small city, so you get to know the parent community quickly. Cherry Hinton, Trumpington, and Chesterton are the main family areas, all within easy cycling distance of the centre.

Feeding ducks on the Cam at Midsummer Common is a rite of passage. The Botanic Garden is welcoming to parents and runs seasonal activities. Wandlebury Country Park on the Gog Magog Hills is the nearest thing to a proper hill walk. Cherry Hinton Hall has a free paddling pool that opens in summer and gets packed. The Fitzwilliam Museum is free and has a handling collection for kids. Most parents here cycle with their kids in trailers or cargo bikes. It's the quickest way to get anywhere and Cambridge is set up for it.

Places Families Go in Cambridge

Cambridge University Botanic Garden

Beautiful garden with themed areas and seasonal trails. Calmer than the parks and good for a wander with a sleeping baby.

Wandlebury Country Park

Woodland and chalk grassland on the Gog Magog Hills. Proper outdoor play territory with den-building and mud.

Cherry Hinton Hall

Local park with a paddling pool in summer, playgrounds, and a nice cafe. Feels properly neighbourhood-y.

Fitzwilliam Museum

Free museum with a handling collection for kids and occasional family events. Small enough to manage in an hour with a toddler.
