Cream teas and more in Huntingdon

An important British agricultural area, Cambridgeshire has no shortage of local produce to stock the shelves of farmers' markets or to appear on local menus. Traditional cream tea is always popular, with heaps of jam and thick cream on your scones. What could be better than a meal in a cosy country pub washed down with a glass of the locally brewed beer?

Countryside fun in the Cambridgeshire area

This is a predominantly rural area of England, so get back to nature at one of the county's parks. One of the best is Ferry Meadows Country Park, where visitors can enjoy a wide range of walking and cycling trails along the shores of the lakes, take a pedalo out on the water or just let the kids go mad in the adventure playground while the adults relax with a coffee. Also popular is Houghton Mill, where wheat is ground into flour in the traditional way. During holiday periods families can learn all about the process of milling and may even get the chance to try baking with some of the produce.
