Cambridgeshire

Cambridgeshire is a county in East Anglia sharing borders with the counties of Hertfordshire, Essex, Suffolk, Norfolk, Lincolnshire, Northamptonshire and Bedfordshire.

Like much of the surrounding region, Cambridgeshire is an exceptionally flat, low-lying county.

The area known as The Fens is located in the north east of the county, and much of the land was once under sea prior to being drained and reclaimed for agricultural use.

Cambridge, the county town, is renowned for it's university but is also an interesting place to visit, providing the region's main cultural, economic and entertainment facilities.
