Punting in Cambridge (2)

Cambridge has many bridges, but the most famous are the Magdalene Bridge, Bridge of Sighs, Kitchen Bridge, Trinity Bridge, Garret Hostel Bridge, Clare Bridge, King's Bridge, and Mathematical Bridge. The Mathematical Bridge, which spans the River Cam at Queen's College, is the most famous. Legend has it that it was designed and built by Newton, and that not a single nail was used in its construction. It is an ancient wooden bridge. Another legend says that Newton's students once dismantled the bridge, but were unable to restore it to its original state. In the end, they had to use nails to rebuild the bridge. Of course, these are just legends. Today, the bridges of Cambridge are still standing. Although they have been weathered by the years, people have given them new meanings. However, their stories and legends continue to attract the interest of tourists.
