CAMBRIDGE PUNTING

Tyrrell’s Punting Cambridge Co. was set up by locals who know Cambridge and its
history inside out. We are specialists in chauffeured tours and have been
running punting tours for over 15 years.

We have the capability to take 100 passengers simultaneously so don’t worry if
you’re a large group. Our tours depart and return to Jesus green, please see our
location here. Our Cambridge punting tours are 50 minutes in duration and you
will see 7 Colleges and 8 bridges along the route.

Punting in Cambridge has been a favorite pastime in the UK since the 19th
century. The reason it is still popular in London is due to the immense
relaxation and peacefulness it brings to the mind of the traveler. Even before
the 19th century punting had been utilized for fishing and trading purposes.

There are several punting spots in the UK, but the most renowned among them is
the punting in Cambridge. The reasons include the numerous scenic locations at
every corner of the journey. Some of the world-famous wonders that can be seen
along the route include several vintage buildings, churches, monuments, bridges,
and villages.

Many international tourists have made it a point to experience punting in
Cambridge every time they visit the UK. The sheer beauty and vibrant ecosystem
that one can experience through this trip are truly amazing.

Essentially Cambridge punting can be done by oneself but it best to hire a
punter who is familiar with the complex waterways of Cambridge. These proficient
punters can offer a smooth boat ride through the river Cam along with an
interesting narration of several historical anecdotes surrounding Cambridge.

If you are nervous about boat rides, fear not, as the waters are comparatively
shallow and the boat itself is a sturdy and dynamically built craft. It is
capable of providing both comfort and safety to the passengers throughout the
journey. Moreover, life jackets are available for everyone including the kids,
and the punter himself is highly skilled to provide any assistance if required.


POPULAR ATTRACTIONS ALONG THE TRIP

Cambridge punting is an incredible tourist attraction by itself as an exquisite
number of magnificent locations and landmarks are covered in this trip.

Some of the famous landmarks and scenic locations include:

 * King College Chapel – which is 575 years old and located in the heart of
   Cambridge.
 * Mathematical Bridge – An epic geometrical marvel built by James Essex in the
   shape of an arc. But shockingly, the timbers used to construct the bridge
   consist only of straight timbers.
 * Bridge of sighs – Officially known as the Hertford Bridge, this is a frequent
   tourist attraction spot for photo sessions.
 * Grantchester Village – is a pleasant and attractive countryside with several
   iconic monuments and churches. The village is famous for two churches that
   date back to the 12th century known as St Andrew and St Mary. Grantchester
   also has a tea room known as “The Orchard” which is famous for serving
   afternoon tea to the visitors. Travelers can also spend a great time in the
   pubs in Grantchester known as the “Green man” and “Red Lion” to enjoy a
   couple of drinks or have lunch.


IDEAL SEASON FOR PUNTING

Punting in Cambridge can be experienced throughout the year in every season.

 * During the summer’s – people enjoy going for punting to spend an amazing time
   with their friends and family. The gardens maintained by the Cambridge
   College will be blossoming with a wide variety of ravishing flowers.
 * During the autumn – season, Cambridge can transform into spectacular scenery
   with gorgeous foliage. River Cam will be flanked by trees, leaves, and other
   vegetation drenched in autumn colours.
 * During the spring – season, Cherry blossoms, tulips, and daffodils can put up
   an incredible show along the river banks. This is a great time for taking the
   children out to explore nature and also to experience the tranquility of the
   river Cam.
 * During the winter – punting can be both challenging and fun if you are ready
   to experience a bit of snow. The prices will be a lot cheaper during winters
   and you can enjoy a great deal of peace and calmness with lesser chaos.

Each season brings a different perspective to the journey and environment.
Everyone should try punting once in a lifetime and enjoy this iconic and
spectacular outdoor activity.
