Things to do around Cambridge, UK

[PricklyPete]

Well I'm at a project her in the UK that is located between Cambridge and Norwich. I'm going to be here for at least 4 weeks...so I'm looking for things to do on the weekends. Of course good pubs are appreciated...but I'm also interested in cool/pretty locations as I love taking pictures. I'm hoping it clears up at some point and we'll get some decent weather.

Thanks for any suggestions!

Anyone? Some here at ATOT has to have visited the area at some point...I was actually figuring a few people actually live in the area.

I've been to Cambridge a few times to see plays and visit some friends but I've never really done much around the area I'm afraid. I don't know that it's really got a lot to do around the area, at least from what I've seen.

I go in from London so I never really hang round the area to see to much of the place.

Are you looking for anything specifically? Outdoor activities or anything?

actually I've just noticed you've put between Norwich and Cambridge in which case I've probably never been to the area, sorry

Well I'm actually planning on being in Cambridge for at least Saturday as one of My colleagues MacBook Pro died this week (that is the second one dying in a 2 week span) and we want to head by the Mac Store there. Looking at some of the online resources, there are a number of castles/historic homes in the area...and obviously the Universities. I was hoping for some guidance on cool places to check out (specific castles, museums, etc). The local football team has a game that afternoon, so I may go check that out weather permitting (it's a monsoon out there at this moment). Also, if there are cool coastal towns worth checking out (I was told Kromer is good), anything like that would be cool. Just trying to get an idea of anything fun to do in the area (2 hour radius is fine...I'm heading to London for at least one weekend later in April...but want to hang out more in the country/smaller cities right now).
