Summary: "Highways and Byways in Cambridge and Ely" by Rev. Edward Conybeare is a descriptive travelogue written in the early 20th century. This account explores the historic and architectural significance of Cambridge and Ely, detailing the local scenery, notable landmarks, and the profound impact of their rich history. The book offers insights into lesser-known corners of these areas, contrasting the picturesque byways with the more mundane highways usually traveled by visitors.

He introduces Cambridge as a town renowned for its academic heritage and beautiful architecture, highlighting the significance of its colleges, the beauty of the Backs, and the historical intricacies that underlie the development of the University.
