The Cambridge Tree Tour

Tired of drinking in the Cam from (or off of) a punt? Don't want to ever tour another Cambridge college again? Never mind, take the Cambridge Tree Tour. With a total walking distance of just over a mile and countless pubs, coffee shops, etc, etc always within five minutes walk, the tour briefly introduces over 40 species of trees and indicates some of their key distinguishing features for identification.

Note: Since the time of writing the Chinese Wingnut (11), Tree of Heaven (21) and Hawthorns (29) have sadly all been cut down!
