| Trinity College, located on Trinity Street in the heart of the city, is the biggest University College in Cambridge. It should not be confused with the smaller Trinity Hall College. Henry VIII founded Trinity College in 1546, and ever since it has been one of the University's most prestigious and best known Colleges. Notable features of the college include the Great Court, which is the largest example of its kind in the world, the huge college Hall and the famous Wren Library. The 15th century clock tower is also world famous for this is the focus of the annual tradition of a race against the midnight chimes, forever immortalised in the film "Chariots of Fire". Famous past students of the college include Byron, Tennyson and of course Sir Isaac Newton. In fact it is said that the tree outside the main entrance to the college grew from the very apple that led to Newton's discovery of the Law of Gravity. |

| Not to be confused with the much larger Trinity College, Trinity Hall is a small University College located on the banks of the River Cam behind Gonville and Caius College. This is one of the town's prettiest Colleges for the location is very picturesque and the College grounds include some lovely gardens - a great place to sit by the river. |
