Very nice place, you can get in only if you pay the entrance fee to the King's college. A family ticket was 60 pounds

Paseo tranquilo entre el Rio Cam y los prados que circundan los Colegios por detrás. Los visitantes pasean en la naturaleza encontrándose con vacas y caballos en su ambiente natural. Es interesante ese paisaje.

Great experience! Friendly staff, quick service, and a welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommend.
