This National Trust site has a manor house, with attached farm and gardens which can all be visited. The farm is especially popular with kids - petting areas, a playground with toy tractors, feeding time (hear the pigs oink and squeal as the food approaches) and all the usual farm animals are there - horses, cows, sheep, pigs, poultry, goats, with a few guinea pigs and rabbits thrown in. There are cafes and a restaurant too.

Live the City was great fun. My family and I bought a "pack" and followed the well thought out route around the city. As the day flew by we took in all the sights of Cambridge and solved clues along the way which kept the children ammused. At the end of the day we took part in a big screen multiple choice quiz. This was great fun. I think there should be a Live the City in every city.

A life-long teenage ambition to hold his own festival on his family's farmland is finally becoming a reality for Doug, now 50.

Very much a local community-based arts and music festival at heart - three nights of camping, two full days of new and inspiring music - including some very, very special guests!

Doug's family and their army of friends and collaborators are guaranteed to have lots of tricks and surprises up their sleeves to create a truly special and memorable event.

1st-3rd September 2006, Lode village, Cambridgeshire;

One of the best ways to see Cambridge is by punting along the River Cam. There are a number of boatyards along the river from which punts can be hired - either with a 'chauffeur' or without. Although slightly more expensive, if you haven't been punting before, you should go for the chauffeured option if you don't want to end up in the water.

In just over an hour, you can make your way past all of the riverside colleges, starting with Magdelane and ending with Queen's. It's an excellent way to see some of the best (and worst) architecture in Cambridge, including the famous library at Trinity College, the chapel at King's College, and the 'Mathematical Bridge' that joins the two halves of Queen's College.

It's an excellent way to spend a sunny, summer afternoon.

Scudamore's Boatyard is one of the main companies that hires out punts in one-hour time slots. They are located near Magdelane Bridge and also next to the Anchor pub on Silver Street
