Springtime in Cambridge: The Ultimate Punting Experience
Spring in Cambridge is truly magical. With its charming atmosphere, vibrant blooms, and the gentle warmth of the sun making its way through the lingering chill of winter, what more could you want? As the sunlight dances on the River Cam, Cambridge’s true beauty comes to life. As every Cambridge local knows, Cambridge is best viewed from the water.
Fun Fact: Punting became a popular activity in the early 19th century, as a leisure pursuit for students and visitors to navigate the shallow waters of the River Cam. So as you can tell – not much has changed since back then!
There’s no better way to take in the breathtaking views than by drifting along the river in a punt. Cambridge’s springtime magnificence is most beautifully showcased along its iconic College Backs, with historic colleges adorned in vibrant seasonal colors. Ultimately, this tranquil journey offers the perfect opportunity to experience the city’s beauty at a leisurely pace.
P.S. For families, we also recommend an Easter Punt and Hunt Scavenger Hunt! Be sure not to miss out – this activity is only here from the 5th to the 21st of April.
Elevate Your Punting Experience with a Picnic
Elevate your spring punting experience with a bespoke picnic, carefully curated to your taste. Fancy a classic afternoon tea on the river as you soak up the springtime views? Or perhaps a brunch-style feast to share is more your vibe as you drift beneath the iconic collage bridges? If neither of those tempt you, a deli-style grazing board might just hit the spot! Essentially, whatever your taste, there’s a perfect picnic waiting to make your punting adventure memorable this season.
