DIFFERENT LIGHT<br />
Experience Cambridge in<br />
all its autumnal glory with a<br />
Scudamore’s College Backs<br />
Punting Tour<br />
The summer may be over, but the beauty of autumn is just about to<br />
begin. There are few sights more stunning than <strong>October</strong>’s explosion<br />
of a thousand shades of orange, gold and brown along the banks of<br />
the River Cam.<br />
In fact, autumn is arguably the most beautiful season of the<br />
year, with clear air, crisp visibility and fascinating light. So what<br />
better time to admire the grandeur of Cambridge’s world-famous<br />
colleges?<br />
Be inspired<br />
The Scudamore’s College Backs Punting Tour takes you on a<br />
journey through some of the most significant academic history in<br />
the world, all explained by your very own expert tour guide.<br />
Marvel at the Mathematical Bridge, be inspired by King’s College<br />
and find romance in Lovers’ Lane, all framed beautifully by the<br />
wonderful colours of autumn.<br />
Get involved<br />
The award-winning 45-minute group tours depart daily from 9am<br />
every 15-20 minutes and can be joined on a walk-up basis only.<br />
Alternatively, if you’re looking for the exclusivity of your very<br />
own punt, private tours are also available. These can be booked in<br />
advance for your preferred time and will enable you to bypass the<br />
shared tour queue.<br />
So whether you’re a first time visitor to the beautiful City of<br />
Cambridge, or a life-long resident, take advantage of this fantastic<br />
opportunity to see this famous stretch of river in a different and<br />
ever-more beautiful light.<br />
Worried it might be too cold?<br />
A wise Scandinavian once said: “There is no such thing as bad<br />
weather, only bad clothes”, and for this reason, Scudamore’s makes<br />
sure you’re prepared.<br />
The autumn tours all include a complimentary blanket for you to<br />
wrap yourself up in and stay cosy. Not only that, you will also have<br />
the use of an umbrella to keep off any rain. Why not bring along a<br />
hot cup of coffee, or better still, a beautifully warming mulled wine?<br />
