The history-laden market town of Huntingdon spans the Roman Road called Ermine Street and is our base for this fascinating holiday. Birthplace of Oliver Cromwell, the town is home to attractions including a picturesque riverside park where you could perhaps take a boat trip or simply view the medieval bridge and the remains of a Norman motte and bailey castle. We visit classy Ely, home to a magnificent cathedral and a picturesque waterfront. We also spend a day in the handsome university city of Cambridge and explore the market town of Bury St Edmunds.
