Fifty miles north of London on the River Cam lies the town of Cambridge, home to one of the top universities in the world. Since 1209, impressive university buildings have been constructed here offering disabled tourists plenty of sightseeing opportunities.

Cambridge’s Parker’s Piece was home to the first modern football (or soccer) game ever played, and notable alumni include Sir Isaac Newtown, Stephen Hawking, and Charles Darwin. An accessible train ride, an accessible bus ride, and an accessible Cambridge guided tour combine to make this a great accessible day trip from London.
