The richest college in the university, with Newton amongst the many famous alumni. Tours of the college include viewing Newton's chair and study area, and the guides are very well informed and interesting. Well worth a visit. More

A really lovely college, with interesting buildings. Even with regard to students porters are reluctant to allow people into the grounds unless they are members of the college or are paying visitors in the allocated visiting times. More

Only stepped in the courtyard and felt the surroundings were beautiful. Loads of tourists about so you will feel left out if you don’t have a camera. I hope to go back and visit Wren Library when it’s open. More

Whatever you do in Cambridge visit Trinity Chapel for choral evensong. You will not find better quality singing anywhere. It knocks Kings into a cocked hat! More

Had a secret tour of the college from a Fellow (member of the college who does research there). Staggering amount of history. The chapel is stunning, statues of famous alumni. Lots of concerts played there. The Great Hall is a very grand venue (I've also eaten very well there another time). The Quad is one of the largest and its... More

The grounds are very beautiful and it is enjoyable to just walk around and look at the buildings. There are also a handful of statues in one of the adjoining rooms to pay tributes to the greats such as Isaac Newton. While here, make sure you visit the Wren library which has on display the Capell collection of early Shakespeare... More
