IWM Duxford is Europe’s largest air museum. Walk through the same hangars and buildings as those who served at RAF Duxford. See aircraft take to the skies from the airfield that Spitfires first flew. Look out for show days, you can often see the aircraft heading to and from Duxford from the garden of the cottage!

Shepreth Wildlife Park, set in natural grounds, has become one of East Anglia’s major attractions and is home to tigers, otters, monkeys, reptiles and even creepy crawlies!. There’s so much to do from daring to enter the Nocturnal House, to playing ‘pirates’ or even stroking a cockroach! The park also provides lots of unique experiences to book, from hand-feeding the ring-tailed lemurs to playing with meerkats in Meerkat Manor. It truly is a fun day out for all the family!

As recommended by Country File as one of the best places for wild swimming… For a quintessentially English spring time dip, head to Grantchester Meadows. Amongst other luminaries, the river’s shallows and pools were allegedly frequented by Lord Byron. Fringed with early blooms, they provide a relaxing place to bathe.

In the heart of the village and only a 10 minute walk from the cottage this beautiful Gastro Pub has a perfect patio for an evening drink. It’s great for dogs we often take ours and they always provide a water bowl. Happy hour Fridays 4.30-6.30!
