If you and your family are in search of a relaxing way to take in the sights (other than going Punting) then book a cabin on Cambridge’s version of the London Eye. Situated in the heart of the city on Parker’s Piece the Ferris wheel affords super views of most landmarks and will give even locals an interesting bird’s eye vista of how Cambridge city centre is knitted together.
