The pretty country town of Cambridge is located in the heart of the Waikato horse breeding district. It has lovely tree lined streets and many well preserved heritage buildings.
If you’re fond of horses, you’ll like it here. Over the past 50 years, Cambridge has had a major influence on Australia’s greatest horse race - the Melbourne Cup. 13 of the cup’s winners were bred here.
While in Cambridge you can shop for antiques and art, attend a horse show, graze the local restaurants, embark on an eco-adventure and enjoy the splendid parks and gardens. There’s an interesting museum in the old courthouse at the southern end of the main street.
