Specifically, the region in question consists of the rear grounds of the following colleges: Map of the Cambridgeshire area (1904) The city of Cambridge is an old English university town and the administrative centre of the county of Cambridgeshire. ... The River Cam is a tributary of the River Great Ouse in the east of England. ...

River Cam and The Backs, Cambridge

• Queens'
• King's
• Clare
• Trinity
• St John's

• Though Trinity Hall looks onto the river Cam, between Clare College and Trinity College, it has no rear grounds on the other side of the river.

The area is notably pleasant, not least because of the river running through it and the way in which the college grounds are maintained, including expansive lawns and gardens. Historically, much of the land was used by the colleges for more down-to-earth purposes such as grazing livestock, or growing fruit. The river was also an important commercial thoroughfare, and a towpath was maintained beside it into the nineteenth century.
