Cambridge and Lincoln

We had to pick our daughter up from Stansted Airport at 11.30 pm on 6th August so we decided to make a short break of it by booking the Premier Inn at Stansted for all of us for the night and calling in a Cambridge and Lincon on the way there and back.

We enjoyed pottering round Cambridge and the Backs and had a great time punting (being punted!) through the colleges.

Lincoln the next day was just as pleasant a day and we enjoyed our visit to the newly restored Castle and walls and Magna Carta.
