More information on Backs (The)
The Backs provide superb views of King's College Chapel (King's College), the Wren Library (Trinity College) and New Court (St John's College), plus the Mathematical Bridge (Queens' College) and the Bridge of Sighs (St John's College). On the western bank of the river are flower gardens, clipped lawns and meadows. Water voles inhabit the ditches, rubbing shoulders with ducks and moorhens, the moorhen chicks making a tasty snack for a hungry pike. Hire a punt, or stroll along the gravel paths, pausing on the bridges to watch the boaters glide by.
