Take a Punt on the River Cam

Nothing goes together quite like Cambridge and floating along the River Cam in the University Arms punt. Pack a picnic to while away the afternoon as your “chauffeur” tells you legends of the city or work up an appetite by perfecting your punting technique yourself. Email our Concierge who can organise a punt for you - concierge@universityarms.com
