Perhaps the most popular attraction in the town of Cambridge is
the university itself. Steeped in tradition, Cambridge University
is the second-oldest university in England, losing out only to
Oxford University. The university's colleges are the main
attraction on this beautiful campus. Viewing the colleges gives
visitors the opportunity to stroll through Britain's architectural
history. Peterhouse is the oldest college, founded in 1284; while
Homerton College was approved in 2010, making it the newest
addition to the Cambridge family. King's College and the
Gothic-style King's College Chapel are not to be missed on this
prestigious campus. The intricate chapel was built over a period of
nearly a hundred years (1446 to 1531) and is home to the famous
Chapel Choir, made up of many of the college's students as well as
younger choristers from King's College School.
