描述
Uncover Cambridge’s darker and stranger side on a small-group walk through tales of spies, scientific rivalries, wartime secrets, ghosts and eccentric characters hidden behind its famous streets.
Step beyond Cambridge's picture-perfect façades and discover the secrets, scandals and extraordinary characters hidden in its historic streets on this 90-minute small-group walking tour.
Rather than a traditional university sightseeing tour, this experience explores Cambridge through its stranger, darker and more surprising stories. Hear tales of espionage, scientific rivalry, wartime secrets, mysterious legends and eccentric characters while discovering the places where these stories unfolded.
Uncover the intriguing world surrounding Christopher Marlowe and Elizabethan espionage, and hear the legends associated with historic Corpus Christi College. At the extraordinary Corpus Clock, meet the unsettling Chronophage – the “time-eater” designed to remind us that every second is disappearing.
Discover another side of the famous Eagle pub, where Second World War airmen left their names and squadron numbers on the ceiling, before exploring the story of Cambridge's scientific revolution. Hear about Watson and Crick, Rosalind Franklin and the race to understand the structure of DNA, alongside discoveries associated with the old Cavendish Laboratory that transformed our understanding of the world.
As you continue through Cambridge, famous landmarks including King's College, Trinity College, St John's College and Senate House provide the backdrop for stories of royal ambition, rivalry, remarkable scholars and centuries of university tradition.
Your guide brings these stories together with the perspective of a Cambridge local, in a relaxed small-group setting with opportunities to ask questions along the way.
Perfect for curious travellers who enjoy hidden history, mysteries, science and remarkable true stories, this is Cambridge beyond the postcard – a city of spies, scandals, discoveries, legends and people who changed the world.
