A concise yet comprehensive introduction to all things Cambridge.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Whether you're keen to punt on the River Cam, cycle, have a picnic in a park, or simply let your mind roam, let your journey start here.

From its famous 800-year-old university to the birthplace of Pink Floyd, discover Cambridge's rich and layered history through its people, places, and trivia.

Deepen your knowledge of the city - cultural highlights include the Fitzwilliam Museum's half a million works of art to the 21-metre fin whale skeleton found in the Museum of Zoology. Discover the city's packed calendar of events: summer brings May Week of student balls and garden parties, while Christmas Eve is time for carols with the King's College Choir. Seek out The Eagle pub, where Crick and Watson announced their discovery of DNA. Or visit Parker's Piece, where football was invented.

The Pocket Cambridge offers a comprehensive journey through this iconic city.

Gemini Pockets

From little guides to soothe your soul to all-access passes to the lives of pop icons, and from quizzes and puzzles for literature lovers to books on food, nature, fashion, and more, Gemini Pockets are the perfect fit for your life and interests.
