剑桥郡最著名的是大学城剑桥。 大学本身可以追溯到13世纪,著名的校友包括艾萨克-牛顿爵士、阿尔弗雷德-丁尼生勋爵、查尔斯-达尔文和弗兰克-惠特尔。 几座令人惊叹的大学建筑漂亮地坐落在康河岸边。 国王学院教堂是英国中世纪后期建筑的最佳范例之一。在参观完学院后(学期中开放时间通常受到限制),为什么不在河上划船放松一下呢?

剑桥郡北部是独特的芬兰景观的所在地。 芬兰在17世纪从沼泽地中开垦出来,平坦的乡村被排水堤坝的直线所纵横交错。

位于芬斯的维斯比奇拥有乔治亚时期建筑的优秀范例。 紧凑的伊利市位于芬斯的北部,其诺曼大教堂主宰着周围数英里的乡村。 也许伊利最著名的居民是奥利弗-克伦威尔,英联邦时期的英国保护者。

克伦威尔出生在亨廷顿,这是一个古朴的集镇,拥有令人愉快的历史建筑,包括古老的文法学校,现在是克伦威尔博物馆,克伦威尔和塞缪尔-佩皮斯都是这里的学生。

源自剑桥郡的当地菜肴包括学院布丁,这是一种传统的蒸羊油布丁,在剑桥学院的大厅里供应给学生,被认为是圣诞布丁的前身。 亨廷顿最有名的菜肴是菲迪格派,传统上是用培根、洋葱和苹果做馅,在收获季节供应给工人。 超过一半的英国室外芹菜来自伊利,当地最受欢迎的菜肴是奶油焗芹菜。 但是伊利,"鳗鱼之岛",可能因其鳗鱼而最为著名。
