Cambridge Attractions

Many of Cambridge's attractions are free. Historic Cambridge has much to offer visitors. The community is based around its heritage and its inheritance of fine gardens and parks, lovingly treated over the years. Walkways are plentiful, try the Heritage Trail (see 25 historically significant sites on the 1¾ hour walk around central Cambridge and experience 140 years of change). The Cambridge Museum is a treasure trove of memorabilia and the fine arts collection at the Cambridge Public Library is well worthwhile.

Those seeking action can try jetboating, jet-skiing or canoeing on the Waikato River, or delve into one of Cambridge's nightspots.

You may prefer to go on scenic day tours, trout fishing, horse riding or horse stud visits.
