Quick facts
Students persuaded the owner to serve tea in her apple orchard in 1897, and it has been a tea garden ever since.
Rupert Brooke lodged at neighbouring Orchard House from 1909, and later guests included Virginia Woolf, John Maynard Keynes and Ludwig Wittgenstein.
You can arrive by punt on the Cam or on foot through the meadows, and sit in the orchard or in the indoor Rupert Brooke Room.
