OT - something to do for an hour in Cambridge
 

I'll be in the centre of Cambridge tomorrow, finished around 14:00 so
looking for something to do before catching the train back.

Botanic gardens?

Any other gardens open?

Anything else gardening related?

Or a good pub :-)

Cheers

The Botanic Gardens are worth a look, there are catering facilities
though I have not tried them.

Within spitting distance of the gate are 'The Panton Arms' and 'The
Alma'. Both fit my standards and are within a few minutes walk of the
railway station.

If the weather is less clement, try the FitzWilliam Museum.

Kings College Chapel. If you can get into that on a quiet day - sublime!

Botanic gardens are well worth seeing (but may take longer) and so is
the Chronophage on Kings Parade (on a corner opposite Kings College).
(not garden releted as such) I also second the Fitz if wet.

Plenty of those depending on the weather those on river bank are fun.

Thanks for all the helpful responses.

In the end I wimped out and just caught the train home.

It was hot and muggy and Cambridge seemed a bit crowded and grubby.
I had forgotten how it was in the tourist season.

The walk between the station and the centre seemed to be full of small
eating places and A level colleges, neither of which appealed at the time.

Some day I will go punting on the river again, although even that seems a
lot more expensive than I remember.

Cheers
