The famous River Cam is one of the city’s most iconic landmarks and offers an abundance of scenic photo spots. Even if you don’t consider yourself a photographic visionary, you’ll never struggle to find a great backdrop for your family photo alongside the river. Make your way over to the waterway from Clayton Hotel Cambridge and stroll along its banks until you find a good spot.

The Mathematical Bridge Cambridge

Another great way of including the River Cam in your photo is by posing on one of the many bridges. This particular bridge holds a lot of history and is a very popular spot for tourists. The reason for this is down to the unique design which doesn’t use any screws or bolts and relies entirely on a mathematical principle. Set up your camera on the riverbank and organise yourselves along the bridge for a beautiful family photo that would look great on any wall or display.
