The National Stud, Newmarket, Suffolk - Horse & fowl
With 31 university colleges and some of England’s grandest architecture, it’s no wonder Cambridge remains such a popular destination. We embark upon a walking tour of the city and take in the sights including King’s College, the Corpus Clock, and The Eagle which is synonymous with Watson’s and Crick’s discovery of DNA. We also discover a world of horse racing and breeding at the National Stud in Newmarket, and spend time in the historic town of Ely.
