The city of Cambridge is a university town and the administrative centre of the county of England. The first town charters were granted in the 12th century.

Cambridge is most widely known as the home of the University of Cambridge founded in 1209, which is consistently ranked one of the top five universities in the world. Today, Cambridge is at the heart of the high-technology centre known as Silicon Fen. Its economic strengths lie in industries such as software and bioscience. Over 40% of the workforce have a higher education qualification, more than twice the national average.

Cambridge is situated about 50 miles (80 km) north-by-east of London. Today Cambridge has a diverse economy with strength in sectors such as research & development, software consultancy, high value engineering, creative industries, pharmaceuticals and tourism.

Cambridge's two universities, the collegiate University of Cambridge and the local campus of Anglia Ruskin University, serve around 30,000 students.Cambridge played a unique role in the invention of modern football: the game's first set of rules were drawn up by members of the University in 1848. The River Cam running through the city centre is used for boating. Cambridge is also known for its university sporting events against Oxford, especially the rugby union Varsity Match and the Boat Race.

Several fairs and festivals take place in Cambridge, mostly during the British summer. Midsummer Fair dates back to 1211. For one week in May the annual Cambridge Beer Festival is held. Started in 1974, it is Britain's second largest beer festival outside London. 90,000 pints of beer and a tone of cheese were served in 2009.

Cambridge Folk Festival, one of the largest festivals of folk music in the UK, is held annually in the grounds of Cherry Hinton Hall. The Cambridge Shakespeare Festival is an eight-week season of open-air performances of the works of William Shakespeare, held in the gardens of various colleges of the university.

Cambridge has a number of churches, some of which form a significant part of the city's architectural landscape. (1764 знака)
