CAM (The), a river of Cambridge. It rises at Ashwell, near the boundary with Beds; runs 14 miles northeastward, past Barrington, to Granchester; receives there the Granta coming 12 miles from the west, and becomes navigable; proceeds thence 2¾ miles north by eastward to Cambridge; and goes thence 13 miles north-northeastward, past Chesterton, Waterbeach, and Upware, to a confluence with the Ouse, 3½ miles above Ely. It was widened and otherwise improved, in its course past Cambridge, in 1869, at a cost of about £6,000.
