Parker's Piece
Don't miss out on the Ice Cream truck that shows up on sunny days! The flavors were amazing and perfect for a hot day. I wish I had tried more - it's a must if the weather’s nice!
If you're into sports, bring a frisbee or a ball! I saw lots of groups playing, and it looked like a lot of fun. Even if you just join in for a bit, it’s a great way to meet people!
Jesus Green
Check out the outdoor lido if you fancy a swim. It’s super refreshing on a hot day, and it’s much more fun than just lounging in the park.
There are plenty of benches, but if you want to claim a good spot, arrive early. I missed out on the best views because I didn't get there soon enough!
I found that the best time to visit is around 4 PM. The park isn’t too crowded then, and the light is perfect for photos.
Christ's Pieces
If you’re on a budget, don't forget to bring your own snacks! There are benches everywhere, and it’s a great spot to relax without spending too much.
Cherry Hinton Hall
Don't forget to bring some bug spray. I did, and it made a huge diference while enjoying the lovely green space. The mosquitoes can be quite annoying at times.
The Backs
I recommend bringing a packed lunch to enjoy by the river. Food options nearby can get pricey and the views are way better than a cafe. Just don't forget a blanket for comfort!
If you're visiting The Backs, I suggest going around 4 PM. The sunlight hits the river just right then, and it's perfect for photos. Plus, it’s less crowded so you can chill with a nice view
Lammas Land
my advice is to visit on a weekday afternoon, around 2 pm. you’ll avoid the weekend rush and can enjoy a quieter vibe. plus, the light is perfect for photos!
