If you are staying in Cambridge, do you really want to do Oxford as
well, which is basically just (an inferior version of) the same thing?

It's not a particularly fun journey either by train or car (and
traffic/parking in Oxford is even worse than Cambridge).

For a second historic City to visit I'd suggest Ely (half a day
probably), Lincoln or York. All fairly easy train trips.
