About this book
Flat roads and a shortage of trees give Cambridgeshire a poor name for scenery, and the author argues that the real interest lies in the byways: thatched cottages, willow-shaded streams, village greens and old parish churches. Edward Conybeare, who had already written on the county's history and on rides around Cambridge, gives most space to the university town and to Ely Cathedral, with special attention to points that guidebooks pass over. The opening chapter moves from the Backs through the town's origins, the Danes and the Norman Conquest to the rise of the university and college life. Frederick L. Griggs drew the illustrations; the volume dates from 1910.
