[2025 Cambridge Attraction] Travel Guide for Mathematical Bridge (Updated Mar)

Entering Queen's College, you can see an ancient wooden bridge spanning the Cam River. This is the world-famous Mathematical Bridge. Historical records are that it was designed by William Etheridge II and built by James in 1749. Essex (JamesEssex) built. The Mathematical Bridge was rebuilt in 1866 and 1905, but the original design has not changed. But in another version, Newton designed the bridge and did not use a single nail to fix it, which amazed the students in Cambridge. They dismantled the bridge overnight to find out what happened. The bridge could never be restored, and had no choice but to re-fix it with nails. Standing at the head of the bridge, the clear and mirror-like water of the Cam River is rippling with the colorful and magical patterns of the Mathematical Bridge. The seemingly irregular and inadvertent geometric figures such as triangles, rectangles, and diamonds are all designed and constructed after careful calculation. It is called Cambridge. A symbol of academic spirit.
