Cambridgeshire's most popular visitor attraction is the county town of Cambridge, or more specifically, the university which bears the town's name. Cambridge University. Cambridge University dates back to the early 13th century. Some stories tell that the university was begun by masters and students fleeing one of the periodic outbreaks of "town vs gown" tension which plagued Oxford from time to time. Whatever its origins, it did not take Cambridge long to evolve its own unique history and architectural heritage. Perhaps nowhere in Britain is so much architectural beauty and historic beauty packed into so small a space.
