Grantchester Meadows — Attraction in Cambridge

This is a lovely area of meadowland adjacent to the river Cam in Granchester. This an upmarket quintessentially English village with typical English pubs and the famous orchid tea house adjacent to this meadow. The area is a hot spot for young families, older generations or couples to walk along after their tea or lunch from any of the nearby eateries particularly on sunny days.

Tip - parking can be a nightmare in spring or summer on the weekdays especially when the sun is out. Expect delays.

Lovely place to walk - swim - paddle ! Good solid paths too for those who are cycling not the best perhaps in places for wheelchairs but potentially doable in dry conditions (and no prev heavy rainfall)

For park your best bet hands down is the community carpark £2 donation honesty box and lots of parking available! First time visit used our kayak fine and swam and had lunch it was wonderful.

I would not advise parking in the tea rooms if your not planning on using it as they are quite expensive compared to park in and not much parking...

Amazing , there’s no other words . It has shade , loads off grass to walk around bare foot , u can use your boat in the river or just have a good swim . 4 stars as the river is very muddy and there are a lot of weeds underwater and I hate that as it almost feels like it’s pulling you under ( seen to many horrors )...
