• Kettle’s Yard House and Gallery: This beautiful cottage has been converted into a museum housing a large collection of 20th-century art. The cottage is adorned with flower arrangements and pebble collections, as well as paintings by Alfred Wallis.

From bakeries and food trucks to cafes and lounges, there are many tasty flavors to experience in Cambridge.

• Bakeries: Cambridge has no shortage of delectable bakeries where you can sample favorite items like sausage rolls, scones, brownies, Chelsea buns, and much, much more.
