An easy way to make sure you get around enough of the area is to take a simple stroll through the city . New research by Millets has revealed the Cambridge City Circular walk by AllTrails is one of the most family-friendly and accessible in the UK.
To create the ranking, Millets looked at a range of factors including terrain, gradient, and available resources and gave the walk an overall accessibility score of eight out of 10. The walk takes around an hour and 24 minutes to complete and allows for plenty of photo opportunities.
