Cambridge has plenty of good pubs and beer.

It is an hour’s walk from the house and passes through lovely fields by the river Cam for half of this walk. There is The Red Lion in the centre of the village that is worth stopping at though it tends to get very busy on weekends. There are other choices of pubs and restaurants as well, including the Orchard Tea Garden.
