You ride in a small boat past centuries-old colleges, picturesque bridges, and lush gardens immersed in the rich history, natural beauty, and architectural splendor of England's Cambridge University.
In addition to riding in the boat, there are some pleasant walkways along the riverbanks that provide lovely views looking out across the river, looking at the boats going by, the historic bridges, manicured gardens and parks teeming with natural beauty and wildlife, including geese, swans and ducks. Such waterfowl are common sights along the river. You might even spot a heron fishing in quieter spots.
One of the unique aspects is the sight of cows grazing on the grass. This rural touch in the middle of a university town is a quirky and charming feature of Cambridge life. These tranquil spaces are a major highlight of the punting experience.
