For those of us who are challenged when it comes to UK Geography, where is Cambridgeshire and what is it famous for?

Yes I could Google it, but it's always more interesting to see what the LOCALS think is famous. That's how I almost ended up pinched for public indecency in Redditch. Good fish & chips but no loo. Look in all honesty I was younger and didn't realize that our local "helper" wasn't there from the goodness of his heart, but rather community service.

Yes, you're right, SilverDollar2017: the main claim to fame around here is Cambridge University. I've heard that Harvard is in a town that calls itself Cambridge...well, this is the original version. Especially big on science, and boasts a science park that thinks of itself as the UK's answer to Silicon Valley (though I doubt whether Silicon Valley would be impressed). Leaving the city of Cambridge aside, Cambridgeshire is one of the flattest landscapes in England - basically similar to the landscape of Flanders (in Belgium) and the Netherlands, just across the North Sea/English Channel. That makes landmarks visible from an enormous distance, such as the medieval architectural masterpiece Ely Cathedral (the 'Ship of the Fens'), which you can see for three or four hours before you get there if you're walking towards Ely from Cambridge. It's also a great cereal-growing area due to the flat terrain and very rich soils. We also have a reasonable supply of fish & chip shops...and loos!

Thanks jbuck!

Thank you Dorado!

@BStrauss3: Nah, there's a pub every hundred yards or so along the way. The Golden Otter, The Plasterer's Arms, The Duke of Norfolk. You don't notice the long walk after a while...
