Image showing a typical Cambridgeshire scene.

Rural Cambridgeshire is dominated by the Fens, now mostly given over to large-scale vegetable production, but there are also scores of modest enterprises, smallholdings and farm shops providing greenstuffs for local eating places.

Cambridge itself is an international university city, packed with tourists, students and academics, and it has an eclectic array of high-end restaurants, ethnic cafes and coffee shops. The county also boasts a clutch of auspicious pub/restaurants with cosmopolitan food and top-drawer wine lists to match.
