Cambridge is a city in England and the home of Cambridge University. Cambridge lies on the River Cam, about 50 miles (80 kilometers) north of London. It has rapidly growing manufacturing industries on its outskirts, many of them closely associated with the university's famous scientific laboratories.
Cambridge was a fort in Roman times, and Roman ruins still stand there. In the 1200's, monks from Ely established the nucleus of the present university. Cambridge University is noted for scholarship in modern literature and science, especially nuclear physics and astronomy.
The university's buildings are noted for their fine architecture. The city has many open spaces, gardens, and old bridges. The Cambridge American Cemetery, where United States World War II military casualties are buried, is just west of Cambridge.
