The city of Cambridge (/ ˈ k eɪ m b r ɪ dʒ / KAYM-brij) is a university town and the administrative centre of the county of Cambridgeshire, England. It lies in East Anglia about 50 miles (80 km) north of London. Cambridge is most widely known as the home of the University of Cambridge founded in 1209, which is consistently ranked one of the top five universities in the world. The university includes the renowned Cavendish Laboratory, King's College Chapel, and the Cambridge University Library. The Cambridge skyline is dominated by the last two buildings, along with the chimney of Addenbrooke's Hospital in the far south of the city and St John's College Chapel tower. Archaeological finds have dated settlement in the area as far back as the bronze age and following the Roman invasion of Britain it became an important military settlement known as Duroliponte. A decline in size and importance followed the Roman's departure until the arrival of the Vikings saw its rebirth as a regional trading centre. Today, Cambridge is at the heart of the high-technology centre known as Silicon Fen – a play on Silicon Valley and the fens surrounding the city. According to the United Kingdom Census 2001, the city's population was 108,863 (including 22,153 students), and was estimated to be 125,717 in mid-2010. It is twinned with two other cities, Heidelberg in Germany and Szeged in Hungary. From Wikipedia under the
