Which versus Where in relative clauses. What are some examples?

Which is the correct sentence?

1- We often go to visit our friends at Cambridge, which is not far from London.
2- We frequently go to visits our friends in Cambridge, where is not far from London. 2-4

When we talk about places in relative clauses, you should use “where” for some info about that place, I know in the above question the first sentence is correct but why? Cambridge is a place isn’t it?
