Picturesque St Ives & River Cruise
Friday 26th June 2026
£45.00 Per Person
Nestled in the heart of Cambridgeshire sits the bustling market town of St Ives. Sitting just 15 miles from the centre of Cambridge, this picturesque town can be found on the River Great Ouse, which helped establish it as a prosperous market town in the 11th Century, allowing traders and travellers to transport their goods with ease.
Today, residents and locals avoid having to cross the river by boat, thanks to the 15th century bridge which remains in place. Every day, hundreds of people pass over St Ives Bridge, often with little recollection of its history. But, with an existence that spans over six centuries, St Ives Bridge has its roots firmly planted as one of the most prominent features of the market town.
Bridge aside, St Ives is a thriving local market town, filled with plenty of shops, eateries and other amusements to keep you entertained. There’s even the Norris Museum, conveniently located close to the Bridge, where you can learn even more about the history of St Ives Bridge and the local area as a whole.

Join us on this fascinating day out to Highclere Castle in Berkshire to visit the Castle and Gardens. Fans of period dramas will love this excursion to Downton Abbey’s Highclere Castle. This incredible Grade I listed building is waiting to share hundreds of years of history with you. The first written records of the estate date back to 749 when an Anglo-Saxon King granted the estate to the Bishops of Winchester. Bishop William of Wykeham built a beautiful medieval palace and gardens in the park. Later on, in 1679, the palace was rebuilt as Highclere Place House when it was purchased by Sir Robert Sawyer, the direct ancestor of the current Earl of Carnarvon.
