Cambridge University Botanic Garden

We think that Cambridge University Botanic Gardens is one of the hidden delights of Cambridge, and we look forward to sharing this amazing garden with you. Founded by the visionary John Stevens Hensley, the mentor of Charles Darwin, this beautiful botanic garden is quite simply Cambridge's most charming collection of fauna and flora. Lying just a short walk away from Cambridge train station, the Botanic Gardens are beautiful no matter what time of the year we visit and contain hidden delights such as the famous 'Brick Tree', which your guide will show you as you wander through one of the most peaceful places that Cambridge has to offer. Should you be a keen gardener and want to spend a little bit of extra time here, your guide will be happy to amend your itinerary accordingly on the day.
