About The Backs
The lawns and gardens behind the River Cam colleges—King's, Queens', and Clare. You walk along the river path and get clear views of the college chapels and bridges.
💡 Go early in the morning before 9am—fewer tourists and the light hits the stonework well. Avoid sunny weekends when punters clog the path.
