St Ives Bridge — Attraction in Huntingdonshire

This historic river port town set by the river Great Ouse is a gem of a place to visit. Wether you sit by the Quayside overlooking the river watching boats passing under an historic bridge with a chapel in the middle, you can take a boat trip from here or even walk around the town seeking out some very interesting buildings, antique shops, pubs and independent retailers and markets on Monday, Friday and Saturday, this town is often buzzing. There are a decent range of very nice restaurants to choose from too, some dating back to the 1600. A statue of Oliver Cromwell looks over the town where he once lived. Parking is free for 18 hours in the Park and Ride adjacent to the town(bus to Cambridge from here) or for just £1.00 per day in the nice Dolphin Hotel next to the old bridge.
