A pamphlet published by the Cambridge Tourist information Centre, detailing a few tourist attractions around Cambridgeshire (England) and farther afield as far as halfway to London.

Listed attractions are:

  1. Anglesey Abbey, Gardens and Lode Mill
    What appears to be a fairly typical Natonal Trust stately home.

  2. Audley End House and Gardens. 
    The bitter rivalry between the National Trust and English Heritage is revealed, as English Heritage throw their hat into the stately homes ring.

  3. Chilford Hall Vineyard & Winery
    Let's face it, alcohol is always a big draw, and the possibility of free samples is hard to resist.

  4. Imperial War Museum Duxford
    Alright, I'll own up that this is actually interesting if you happen to be an aviation enthusiast, or a military history nut. Restoration works in progress are on display in the hangars, and some rarities are on display, including the Concorde prototype.

  5. The National Stud
    "Discover what happens behind the scenes of one of the most restigious stud farms in the country..." Enough said.

  6. Kentwell Hall.
    Yet another stately home, but with a gimmick: it has a moat. Not affiliated with either English Heritage or the National Trust.
  7. Linton Zoo
    Claiming a tendency towards conservation and education, I'm no expert on zoos and feel ill-equiped to comment.
  8. Mountfitchet Castle & Norman Village of 1066
    From illustrations, it appears rather small, though it has a certain quaint, Monty Python and the Holy Grail charm.

  9. The National Horseracing Museum and Tours.
    Surely only of interest to those afficianados of Horse Racing, features include a wide variety of silly hats, and the absurdly titled 'Horse Simulator', which I'm sure must be experinced to be fully appreciated.

  10. Wimpole Hall, Gardens, Park and Farm
    Gammut-running notwithstanding, the National Trust thwart English Heritage at the last by pulling this little doozy of a stately home out of their pocket.

There's not a lot to do around Cambridge. Even my parents agree.

Sorry, what's that you say?
