Hotels in Cambridgeshire

Cambridgeshire is officially part of the East of England region, which places it in the Southeast rather than the Midlands. While some parts of the county, like Peterborough, are geographically closer to the Midlands, the county as a whole is considered southern. It borders counties like Essex, Hertfordshire and Suffolk, which are all in the south.

Cambridgeshire is best known for the University of Cambridge, one of the oldest and most prestigious universities in the world. The county has a rich academic and scientific legacy, with Nobel Prize winners, groundbreaking research and historic architecture all centred around the university. It’s also famous for its flat Fenland landscapes, historic towns like Ely with its stunning cathedral and archaeological sites like Flag Fen and Must Farm, which have revealed some of the best-preserved Bronze Age dwellings ever found in the UK. The county played a key role in World War II aviation and the Cambridge American Cemetery commemorates American servicemen who fought during the war.

The largest city in Cambridgeshire is Peterborough, it’s located in the north-west of the county and is known for its impressive cathedral, historic sites and growing urban centre. 

Cambridgeshire is one of the larger counties in England, with a mix of bustling cities, historic market towns and peaceful countryside. The landscape varies from the flat, open Fenlands in the north and east to rolling hills in the south and west. It’s spacious enough to offer plenty of variety, whether you're exploring nature, visiting cultural sites or enjoying a city break.
