10 Things to do in Cambridge Travel Guide | London Day Trip video transcript:
Today we are here at Kings Cross station and we are going on yet another day trip. Another one. Where are we off to? Another day trip from London. We're off to Cambridge today.
There are a number of trains from Kings Cross to Cambridge with journeys ranging from 45 minutes to a little over an hour and a half. Buying your ticket in advance is always a good idea as you can get a better price, and it’s also wise to travel off peak.
If you decide to walk into town like we did, Cambridge University Botanic Garden makes for a nice little stop. The garden has over 8000 species.
It is lunchtime for us and we've walked over to the Regal. Apparently this used to be a hotel, then a cinema and now it is a pub. I've ordered breakfast and Sam is having lunch. I'm waiting for my eggs benedict and I think you're having a Steak and Ale Pie? And a pint of Guinness
Feeling stuffed from that pub fare, we started making our way into town, and it wasn’t long before we came across the River Cam which was teaming with punters. Some made it look easy, while others were struggling, but we had a different idea and decided to go visit one of the colleges.
As a fun fact: The University of Cambridge was founded in 1209, just a few decades after Oxford University, making it the second oldest university in the English-speaking world. It is divided into 31 independent colleges, and our first one of the day was Queens College.
The most popular thing to do here in Cambridge aside from of course exploring the University is to go punting. It is very crowded out there.
So next up we're inside the Great Saint Mary's Church and we're going to be climbing the tower because apparently these are the best views of all of Cambridge. We like to climb towers.
The spiralling staircase is quite narrow and it has to accommodate traffic going up and down, which requires being a contortionist at times, but that’s how you earn those views!
Next up we are doing Trinity College and this is the largest college here at Cambridge University and also it was founded by Henry VIII.
That is basically it for our travel guide from Cambridge. I feel like we barely put a dent in Cambridge. We are back at the station just waiting for our train now back to London.
This is part of our Travel in England video series showcasing British food, British culture and British cuisine.

The Regal is a Wetherspoins btw
lol good to know , and its the dodgiest pub in Cambridge
Haha can't believe how excited you guys were for a Weatherspoons
LOL, we were hungry.
I’ve lived in Cambridge my entire life and it’s strange to see it from a tourist’s perspective
I can imagine it would be Luke!
Luke Davies yeah same
Where do you think is nice so to live Cambridge Hertfordshire or York
Is Cambridge a very nice place to live?
Mr L Cambridge is great. I’m 17 so I’ve probably had a different experience of Cambridge than those that move here later in life but I’d say it’s brilliant. Definitely a great place to live and very suitable for families or young people alike.
I have lived in Cambridge all my life and have never been to the Botanical Gardens, but after watching your video I will now. Get well soon. xx
gee
During your visit to Cambridge you should have seen the unique Round Church before attending Choral Evensong in the Chapel of King's College, which was built by King Henry VI as a memorial to those who fell in the Hundred Years' War with France. You could have combined your trip to Cambridge with a visit to Ely Cathedral, which is only a few miles down the railway line in the direction of King's Lynn.
Things to do in Cambridge. Wethspoons...
I think they’re American so I don’t think they understand that it’s actually a low-quality franchise pub
All thanks to funds_hack on instagram that dudes got me $5000 on my cashapp account you can also message him via whatsapp +1 442 900 1012. He has been a great helper to me and my family.
That's cool! I still haven't been to the Botanical Garden in Cambridge so that's a good reminder. I also need to do my Cambridge video ASAP! lol
Thank you! It is a really nice garden. Ah, let us know when you've made it :)
You guys have given some great gastronomical advice that i’ve benefited from all around the globe. Bigging up Wetherspoons food was a bad move though, i will put it down to the illness! Fitzbillies and The Free Press were 2 places i found that were well worth a visit.
Thank you for those recommendations! We sure enjoyed our day-trips to Oxford and Cambridge but a day or two later we were bedridden in Cardiff for over a week. The most sick we've been in years.
For some reason when I search for a travel destination I find videos from you guys. Very useful and well made. So I finally subscribed.
Thank you very much! Welcome :) Where have you been searching for lately?
I'm actually going to Cambridge tomorrow, so this video was useful. I watched your video for Vienna before I went there. And the one for czech food among others. My next Europe escape will probably be Rome. Have you not been there yet? PS: did you enjoy Romania?
i’m meeting my internet best friend in cambridge in a couple days so thanks for the video❤️
How exciting! Hope you have a great time.
Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos thank you 😊
Could you do a restaurant compilation, guys? There’s a lot the chefs could tell you about their fare, so you’d definitely have it really easy.
That is a great idea Patrick!
Cannot wait for Wales it's such a fantastic country and the landscape and culture is totally different from England I think you will enjoy it!
Thanks! We're excited to be visiting for the first time :)
I like your vlogs and the enthusiasm you have when you try yummy foods!!
Thank you very much Kat!
More than amazing video..Thanks for sharing. :)
Thank you! We had a really good time :)
glad to see you didn't use the gravy as a dip after all! Pour it all over, its the only way.
Agree with you Lisa1
The ginger nut was really interesting, I liked his explanation of a plate of pie, gravy, mushy peas and chips
Thanks James!
I hadn't checked into your channel in SO long and just watched this and LOVED it! I'm getting back into video after two years and you both really inspired me.
Thank you very much Ayngelina! That is exciting news :) Looking forward to watching your new content.
A great video, thanks
Top watch!
Thanks!
loved the video :)
AH, thank you!
I love how your videos have both tips for traveling around and fun facts. It makes it really useful but also fun to watch.
Although I don’t know many details yet, I’m going to be staying in Cambridge for a couple of weeks along with a whole bunch of other Japanese high schoolers for a Nihon University/ Cambridge University program of some sort, and this video has made me more excited than ever to be going. I’m excited to use some of your tips and put some of these fun facts to use once I get there:)
Thanks Lily! Hoping you have a great time in Cambridge! We wished we had more than just a day.
Feel better guys. Love Cambridge. Nice job
Thank you very much!
Sorry you weren't feeling well. Thanks for featuring Cambridge but as Audrey said you barely scratched the surface of everything you can see here. Cambridge, to me, is the center of the Universe when it comes to modern history because of all the people who were associated with the University.
Thanks Bill! We'd love to come back again soon.
Great vid, guys! Perfect mix of fun, facts & food! What is the fab music?
So sorry you were both ailing while in England. That's got to be tough while traveling. Hoping you get well and stay healthy!! Love your vids!!!
Thank you! The more we think about it we're quite lucky to be healthy most of the time. Sometimes getting sick makes you appreciate that even more once you've recovered.
Good videos guys !! Been watching for some time now. Keep up the good job !! Good luck in everything !!
Thanks Alexander!
Jess v oh how I wish to visit cambs UK someday.
Hope you enjoyed London as that's my home and I like to see tourists having a great time , all the best
Ah, we had a great time. We didn't do as much sightseeing this time around but enjoyed meeting up with friends, a social event and taking a few day trips before we both got sick.
Very nice ,have been twice there wanna again n again
Thank yoU! That is great to hear.
Have a speedy recovery...
Ah, thanks!
Hope all is well! Thanks for these. I've only been to London but not the outside cities
Thanks! We're feeling much better now. It is incredible how many options you have for day trips outside of London. We only did a fraction of what we wanted to do because of how we were feeling. What did you think of London?
Defo Wetherspoons
Love you guys!!!!
Thank you!
Thank you for that travel guide to Cambridge. Just got back from England myself and we only had time to see Oxford. We did a guided walking tour. I would highly recommend one for other travelers because it gives you historical context for all those beautiful buildings you are seeing.
Thank you! Ah, the walking tours are awesome. Especially if you get a passionate and knowledgeable guide.
Be careful with walking tours tho, make sure you don't one that is well reviewed. We did a walking tour in Oxford and the guide was ATROCIOUS. HIs history was dead wrong on at least one occasion (Charles I of England was not the king that the American colonists rebelled against!), referred to Protestants who were killed by Catholics during the 16th century as martyrs (which is a little creepy in modern day Britain), and said that no one was allowed to walk on the grass in the college squares because the dons have their ashes scattered there (that seems questionable so so many reasons). My SO
disliked the guide's cadence, describing it as "like he thought he was a Shakespearian actor". There was a local girl shadowing the tour before starting with the company as a guide and she agreed that this guide was getting his information wrong.
I'm sorry, I don't remember the name of the company but we found it through Viator or TripAdvisor or something.
I don't know if you guys take suggestions but l would like if you check out Malta. It's a place i haven't seen a lot of in-depth travel videos on
Thanks! Great suggestion and somewhere we'd both like to visit.
you both seem like such nice people. Subscribed
Thank you very much!
Really helpful video for visiting Cambridge
Thank you very much! Loved visiting!
Thought you said the Two Doors!😂 It's pronounced the Chewders! Great vlog guys!👍🏼👍🏼😘😘
Oh, thanks for letting us know! :)
Great movie. Great quality as well what camera are you using .? Thanks
Thank you. We use a GH5 Panasonic.
Nice video
Thank you!
Get well soon guys, hope you have fun in wales
Thank you very much!
Great video where do you think is nicer to live Cambridge York or Hertfordshire
Good question!
I love your video i live in poknara i unfortunately couldn't meet you 😀
Thank you very much!
I've never been to Cambridge, Though living close to Oxford would like to see how they compare
You should check it some weekend if you have a chance.
Hi guys! Congrats on almost reaching 100k! One question regarding CC. Are you doing this manually, or are you paying something to help out? Thanks in advance! -Noah
Thank you very much! We've been doing it ourselves. It is time consuming but I think worth it because viewers appreciate it and it also gives your content a search engine boost. It would be something we'd consider outsourcing in the future though.
The home of pink floyd .
All-time greats!
2 of them went to my old school-_-
What is it with Sam and Jodphur anyway? - Anyway, the English weather was obviously killing you both off, hoping you are back on track again soon......:-)
LOL, my fav shirt! Hahaha...thanks. We actually ended up being sick for quite a while in Wales but felt so relieved to be healthy again after that.
I wanna go back theeeeeeeeere
Hope you can soon!
Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos It's frustrating that I didn't get to know those places when I was to Cambridge. It was a group travel with some classmates, so we didn't get to know all those beautiful places, and it was WINTER! I couldn't enjoy Cambridge as I wanted to, but someeeeeday! Thanks for posting this video!
Thank you! I'm going to cambridge tmr!
Hope you have fun Dhammaporn!
I’m going tomorrow too!!
get well soon , both of you .
Thank you very much!
Ayyy what a nice couple. @Luke Davies
Which camera did you use for slow motion footage?
We used the Panasonic GH5.
The Regal? Good God. I wouldn't even call it a pub and then the Granta? Nothing personal but you two are amongst the 6,000,000 other tourists, in a town of 80,000, we cant handle it anymore.
How about adding some actual value to your comment by offering some examples of establishments worth frequenting?
Pubs? Cambridge Blue (free house), Elm Tree (Banks and Talyor), The Eagle (Greene King), The Castle (Adnams), Places to go? Fitzwilliam, Sedgwick, Arc and Anth, Scott Polar all University museums. Cambridge museum of technology (Sundays only). Walks? Plenty along the river. Further away? Ely or St Ives.
Thanks for sharing that! To be honest we didn't research places to eat or drink so it probably comes across like we're a bit uninformed but we enjoyed our quick visit though.
Rather a churlish comment to a polite and charming couple ! I live in Oxford and - gasp! - not every tourist has done lots of research about where to grab lunch.
@@samuelandaudrey That is exactly THE POINT! You have no brains to use when filming your useless videos - "we did not research places"! Why the hell you think your videos matter? Untidy ugly looks, mediocre minds, lazy attitude.
Felt bad because the food you had at that place
What should we have next time?
How many countries have you guys been to?
That is a good question! We've never sat down to count but I think it might be in the 60-70 range.
Wow!!
Oxford is bigger and not quite as jammed in the peak places.
We noticed that as well.
Well thats another 5 and a half stone ive put on :p
Of all the places... The fucking Regal! See that place on a Friday/Saturday night (not during lockdown/Coronavirus) it is horrendous! Everything else, just lovely 👍
Thanks! What do you dislike about that place?
the prices have changed SO MUCH
Has anyone ever told your boyfriend that he looks a little like Evan Peters? Like not fully fledged Evan Peters but a little. I just discovered your channel today, going to Cambridge later this year.
I eat a handful of raw cranberries every day and I rarely get sick
Ooooh, we might have to borrow that trick :)
I'm surprised none of the commenters are pointing out that _The Tudors_ is terribad for learning about Bluff King Hal. I recommend _Wolfe Hall_ and any of the BBC, PBS, etc. shows about Henry VIII instead. Also, it sounded like Sam said "Two Doors" instead of Tudors.
I wish they had said nothing at all. Time wasters. Sadly - waste of time for many viewers to come...
spooons the place to be for pre driiinks XD
Thank you!
Hope you getting better soon Audrey and Samuel. Great and very interesting video. If you have time feel free to watch my latest vlog from Bangkok :)
Thank you very much! Also, thanks for sharing :)
Over a half of your video is about your faces and what you eat. Are you sure that the title is correct?
We did it just for you, Andy. Andy, just for you.
The place where u've been having lunch, i guess it is also called called wetherspoons.
That sounds familiar Mike.
Was that a one way, or a return ticket for £16 ?
My aim is to study Mathematics at Trinity college.
Wishing you the best with that Sajal!
not you bigging up that restaurant and as soon as i saw the plate i knew it's a SPOONS
That is iconic!
Have you done The Netherlands yet?
Only to Amsterdam briefly. We'd like to explore more.
What do you prefer London or Cambridge?
For travelling, London. To live in, Cambridge (currently living here) :)
Dagenham is in London(that should answer it):) LOL
Your accent tells me Minnisotta or Canadian lol. 🤔😉
You can get better eggs Benedict and steak and ale pie than that. The eggs Benedict should have had crispy bacon imo
How was the sweaty armpit odor climbing up the tower? That is my biggest fear climbing narrow stairs, having to smell sweaty armpits from the masses.
Hahaha...ummmm...yeah, it is not amazing in that department but we were more concerned with the steps and not falling.
Please visit york, in yorkshire.
Thanks! Would love to do that.
:-)
:)
hlo
Y yo pregunto ?. Los viajes los pagáis a media. O es siempre el chico quien lo paga todo.??!?!!

Oh, dear. Judging by your video - Cambridge is quite boring. All the usual listing: botanic gardens, pubs (half the video!), river boating, and just a dollop of mentioning of the ancient colleges. No history, no interesting facts, no humour, - nothing special. Especially upsetting is that some of the comments say they find your videos everywhere. Please, if you can not compete with Rick Steves - DO NOT LITTER INTERNET!
The all caps zinger at the end is going to sting indefinitely. You've definitely succeeded in r̶u̶i̶n̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶o̶u̶r̶ ̶d̶a̶y̶ our lives.
@@samuelandaudrey Oh, pleeease! Do not even joke, pretending to be innocent little angels getting touched by an honest judgment of the rubbish you leave in the social place. You are traveling for your own pleasure and making cabbage by deceiving unaware and unsuspecting internet users, pretending that you can provide something useful. On contrary - you are useless sh.t providing... eeerrr... useless sh.t. Instead of taking on board and progressing, you even dare to send your sarcasm in response. Shame on you!
Imagine having nothing better to do than rant and rave on random youtube videos.
Imagine having nothing better to do than rant and rave on random youtube videos.
@@samuelandaudrey No! It is YOU who should imagine that people are looking for a useful documentary on Cambridge, yet finding this duet of a revolting horse with mega teeth and an untidy red-haired bristle - littering all over the internet... No wonder you've got 1% of feedback!! And 99% of TOTALLY DISAPPOINTED ONES, who did not even bother to comment about your mediocre es eight ai tee.
