My name is Benjamin, I recently moved to Cambridge, and in my spare time I like to go on day trips, which usually involve walking, cycling, or taking trains in some way. Many of these trips lead me to explore Cambridgeshire, Norfolk or Suffolk; the three counties known as East Anglia (although the extent of East Anglia is somewhat\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/East_Anglia#Area\">controversial<\/a>). I thought it might be fun to write about some of these expeditions, and thus will try to do so on this blog. Despite the title I don&#8217;t plan to strictly restrict myself to the three counties mentioned before, but will probably also write about trips to other parts of the world &#8211; Essex and Hertfordshire, for instance, but also more exotic locations.<\/p>\n<p>What is the point of this? Firstly, I quite enjoy reading travel reports myself, and hence am interested to see whether I am able to do some travel writing myself. Secondly, I think East Anglia is often underrated: East Anglia, a. k. a. the <a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/117772481\">Wales of the East<\/a>, seems to be primarily known for being flat (Cambridgeshire has been called the &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.telegraph.co.uk\/finance\/property\/counties-of-britain\/4199678\/Counties-of-Britain-Cambridgeshire-by-Ross-Clark.html\">billiard table of England<\/a>&#8220;), and flatness is in turn associated with boringness. True, a picture of you climbing a massive rock which guarantees plenty of likes on social media will be hard to come by when walking in Norfolk. Nevertheless, I think East Anglia is scenic and interesting in less obvious ways, and I want to embrace the flatness in the posts on this blog. Let the experiment begin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to Adventures in East Anglia!
