Description
Discover the must-see sights of Cambridge on a guided bike tour. Cycle through the city's historic streets, see the University of Cambridge, and take in the views of the River Cam.
Meet your guide under the lamp in the middle of Parker’s Piece, just to the south of the City Centre. Walk to the garage to pick up your bike and set off on your adventure.
Cycle through parks and commons, keeping an eye out for cows, and see rowing and college boathouses. Head to the city center to see St John’s College and Trinity College Great Gate. Sometimes, you can even get inside Trinity College Great Court, where Harrold Abraham ran around in the time it took to strike 12 noon.
Stop on top of Garrett Hostel Bridge to take some amazing photos of ‘The Backs’ of the colleges and people punting. Then, get off the beaten track and visit the Cambridge University Real Tennis courts to see how the game is played.
Continue to the University Library and the Sidgwick Site, which is arguably the center of the University of Cambridge. Then, head to the best spot to take that iconic photo of Kings College Chapel before meandering back past the Mathematical Bridge and Queens’ College.
Stop on Kings Parade to check out the most amazing Corpus Christi Gold Clock that was given to the college by John Taylor. Cycle down Kings Parade and the front of King College Chapel to take a look at the Senate House, St Mary’s Church, and some guerrilla art before taking the bikes back to the garage.
