Cambridge University Walking Tour Learn Whilst you Laugh

If you want to laugh out loud whilst learning the difference between the English Perp and the and the Decorative then this is the tour for you. I don’t to a list of facts and dates, but tell great stories that build into mind-blowing narratives. These are tours you won’t want to end.

1. 1

   The Guild Hall

   5 min

   At the Guild Hall we'll start by turning the clock back to the 13th century to visit Cambridge as it was before the university

2. 2

   Stop 2

   5 min

   Next we’ll go back to Saxon times visiting the oldest building in Cambridgeshire – and try to solve the mystery of its strange windows.

3. 3

   Old Cavendish Laboratory

   5 min

   Now we’ll whiz forward a thousand years and crack the Atom at the famous Cavendish Laboratory and perhaps even discover the structure of DNA

   Here we will learn the nature of time, what a Chronophage is and how your central heating paid for the newest tourist attraction in Cambridge , the famouse Corpus Clock

6. 6

   King's College Chapel

   10 min

   For many, King’s College and its Chapel is Cambridge– but its only 1 of the 31 that make up the University – and as you’ll learn it’s a miracle it was ever built. We won't go in but I do offer a sepate tour or the Chapel - see my website for details

7. 7

   Senate House

   Senate House and the old schools is the centre of the university – and its where every student will graduate from. If we are lucky we will see a graduation ceremony – if not we can have your own.

   Great St Mary's Church (Church of England)

   Since the 13th Century Great St Mary’s has been ‘the University Church’ , and in the 18th Century it was the very centre of England. More amazingly you can hear its chimes in London.

    The largest college in Cambridge with the most impressive gate – this is a chance to learn about the teenage mum, who founded two collages, finished King’s Collage Chaple and Great St Mary’s Church. And if that is not enough – started the Tudor Dynasty
