Cambridge

Cambridge is the main city in Cambridgeshire which is part of East Anglia.

It is one of the two major University towns and is twinned with Heidelberg in Germany and Szeged in Hungary. It is one of the top cities in England for being the home of high wage earners.

There was an original settlement on Castle Hill in pre Roman times and as such the name Cambridge comes from a crossing of the River Cam having changed from Cantebrigge. Education has always been important for Cambridge and its time of prosperity was when the Universities were being developed.
