Cambridge

As the world's fourth-oldest surviving university, the University of Cambridge's campus is a historical artifact in itself. This bridge, crafted from timber, has become a centerpiece in the school's tours and is even aptly named Mathematical Bridge. Capture the boats passing through as they carry hopeful future students and families that are visiting and taking in the sights of 811 years of academic history.

This image was taken from Silver Street, looking onto the Mathematical Bridge and River Cam on the University of Cambridge campus. To get this perspective, I stood facing northwest on the north side of the bridge. You can either get to this location by driving or taking public transportation. By public transportation: - Closest station: Cambridge (via CrossCountry, Great Northern, Thameslink or greateranglia) - Head west on Station Rd toward Mill Park Rd - Turn right onto Hills Rd/A1307 - Turn left onto Gonville Pl/Hills Rd/Regent St/A603 and continue to follow A603 - Slight right onto Lensfield Rd/A603 - At the roundabout, take the 1st exit onto Trumpington St - Turn left onto Silver St - Turn right onto Queens' Ln - Turn left - Slight right
