PUB GUIDE
THE EAGLE This quintessentially English pub not only serves great ales and food, but it’s got an eye-poppingly fascinating history. It’s been open as a pub since 1667, boasts a seriously spooky ghost story (ask about the upstairs window, if you don’t scare easy), and its ‘RAF Bar’ bears the graffiti of Second World War pilots who burned their names into the ceiling. Most famously of all, in 1953, Francis Crick burst in to announce that he and James Watson had ‘discovered the secret of life’ after identifying the structure of DNA. The courtyard is always packed, and they do a mean fish and chips, too. CAMBSEDITION.CO.UK
