The day starts with a journey to Newmarket, the home of horse racing. We're here to visit the National Horseracing Centre. Later, we go to Ely, a historic city with a stunning collection of mediaeval structures. We travel to Cambridge and board our chauffeured punt around the backwaters of Cambridge. Our guide will not only gently drive the punt down the River Cam but will also show us the highlights of Cambridge's College structures. Strawberries and cream will be offered as you glide along the river, adding to the classic English experience. We go south to the Roman city of St Albans before visiting the RAF Museum in Hendon.
