On a trip to Cambridge the other day with my American cousin Bob who is over for a holiday. We stopped off for him to get some photos of the River Cam. I have loads of photos of the river so while he was off snapping away I took this photo of a lovely big tree. I think it is a Plain tree.
These cottages overlook the park area and are largely student accommodation. What a lovely place to wake up every morning before going off for a lecture.
You may notice the bicycles leaning up against the railings. These are the primary form of transport that many people use in Cambridge. It's is a very pretty university city and has many open green spaces like these all over the centre of the city. You are never far from a park.
Many of these open green places are ** 'common land'.** It means that if you are a freeman of the city you can graze your livestock on these open spaces. You will in fact often see cattle and rare breed sheep grazing away merrily.
Cambridge is a stunningly beautiful city with amazing architecture which I will be sharing with you here on steemit.

I love the quaint buildings, the beautiful grazing sheep, the park. That is what makes a walk so pleasant. I hope Bob has a nice time visiting!
Bob was super happy with the days shoot. We visited a few places. I have a lot of video of the day and may put it on YouTube on Saturday if I get it edited in time lol
How delightful! I wish my dorms looked like that with that view! And how fun it must be to see the animals grazing there!
It must be lovely and relaxing I agree. My Uni days were nothing like this. Just hard work lol
that is a grand looking tree and many a student here would love accommodation like the ones there so close to a nice park
I agree they are very lucky to learn in such a beautiful and historic place.
