Walk · 45 min · free · the college gardens seen from outside

The Backs is the strip of meadows and gardens that the colleges have behind them, on the banks of the Cam. Without paying an entry fee, the walk along Queen's Road and the public bridges (Silver Street, Garret Hostel Lane) gives the best views of King's chapel and the gardens of Clare and Trinity.
Start at Silver Street bridge, from where you can see Queens' wooden Mathematical Bridge, and continue north along Queen's Road to Garret Hostel Lane, which crosses the river between Trinity Hall and Clare. It takes about 45 minutes with stops. First thing in the morning, without boats or groups, is when it is at its best.
