England - Cambridge

After a week of running and playing in London, we drove to the village of Sawston, in Cambridgeshire, to visit a friend. We stayed there for four days and took a number of sightseeing trips, the first of which was a visit to Cambridge. As a university professor, I was eager to prowl around the University of Cambridge, one of the oldest universities in the world and home of the world-renowned King's College, Cavendish Laboratory, and the Cambridge University Library. It was founded in 1209 by students who fled from hostile townspeople in Oxford.

I think you're mistaken, the shots at the beginning are of Saffron Walden, not Sawston! I've lived in the area 17 years, such a beautiful place :)

You're right, of course. We stayed in Sawston, because that's where our friend was living. But when we went to Cambridge, we made several stops in other small places for pictures and visits.. I'm sure Saffron Walden was among them. But I didn't intend to give the impression that these pictures were of Sawston. I had other videos for that. Sorry for the confusion. Loved your little village!

Cheers, John

@bestjonbon Cambridge, with a population around 120.000 people is a village? Or we are talking about Sawston...? But, as there is no university in Sawston, I have to think about Cambridge... (altought it seems rather unlikely that anyone, like r1ccardo would refer to Cambridge University as "university there". Hmm...for example, New Heaven "university there" means Yale? :D
