Cambridge is a town that affords you many great architectural treats. On our way to the Wren Library which is part of Trinity College we enjoyed many. This day was still Monday March 9th and our first full day in Cambridge.
There is a lot of history in this library and many important documents. If you are interested you can read more here.
A detailed description of the window can be found here.
A.A. Milne attended Trinity college and some original manuscripts from Winnie the Pooh are featured in the Wren Library. Some interesting reading here.
This was a beautiful day in Cambridge and we enjoyed some views at the back of Trinity and other colleges, too.
A view of the Wren from the Backs.
A view of St. John’s college.
They have a claim to fame of C.S. Lewis visiting here during his time in Cambridge.
They also claim to be the oldest pub.
We had our last meal of the day at the Mitre.
Love the signs of spring we are seeing…
So this was Monday and we had 4 more full days in Cambridge. It will take lots of posts to cover everything we have seen and experienced. Today, Thursday the 12th of March, was a very blustery day. The kind of wind that moved you along. We still had sunshine break through. Our weather here has been fabulous with no rain so far. Time will tell if we get rained upon. Thank you, friends, for following along with us.

I love following along on your travels!
Absolutely stunning. I really enjoyed your photos. Looks like a lovely meal. Safe travels.
Such beauty in the old buildings…the library is gorgeous. You and your hubby look so happy…such a great picture of the two of you.
I could get lost in that library!
Impressive library!!!!
Such beautiful old buildings!
Beautiful photos. Thanks for sharing!
I love it that you’ve been including photos of your various meals. But especially at the Mitre, where Peter Wimsey stayed in Dorothy Sayers’ Gaudy Night.
I saw this post in my email and found it on your blog. The photo taken under the colonnade, then the river through the glass panes are just beautiful. But the library took my breath away. The angle with the ceiling and rows of books, the woodwork, those books! I actually got a little emotional. I have a third edition of Winnie-the-Pooh. It’s not in good condition but I love it. Thank you for sharing that library! I’ll be thinking about it for a long time.
