More information on Queens' College

Queens' College (founded 1448) was founded by two queens: Margaret of Anjou, Henry VI's queen, and Elizabeth Woodville, Edward VI's queen. Enter from Queens' Lane, once one of the city's main medieval roads, into a 15th-century brick courtyard, even older than the neighbouring Cloister Court. Cloister Court though is a superb example of Tudor architecture, the cloisters supporting the wooden-beamed President's Lodge. Between the two courtyards, the dining hall has 19th-century tiling plus older murals. The college also contains the famous Mathematical Bridge, built in 1904 to the same specifications as the original 1749 model. That it was once standing without bolts is sadly a myth. Famous alumni include Erasmus and Stephen Fry. The college has unpredictable opening hours. Admission: From November to March free, otherwise £1.20

Traveler Photos of Cambridge

King's College, Cambridge Great scenery. We spotted this house on the way to Cambridge.  Cute. The mathematic bridge. Newton constructed it without using bolts supposedly. So then students took it apart to see how it works, couldn't quite figure it out, and now it's bolted.
