The Most Entertaining Tour of Cambridge by An Ex-Student

Despre activitate

I want you to enjoy this tour, so we'll see the most stunning landmarks, and you'll hear some of the darkest, most romantic and wonderful historical stories, for an experience of Cambridge and its world-famous university that you won't forget!

We'll walk through the historic City Centre and the Backs, as close as possible to the action.

YOU'LL HEAR

  • how Cambridge University began as a bunch of religious schools more than 800 years ago, because of a bloody riot in Oxford
  • how it has taught and hosted countless famous people who changed the world
  • how a religious scholar scribbling at the top of a tiny tower shook the whole of Europe
  • The despicable reason why our two greatest colleges are bitter rivals

YOU'LL SEE:

  • the FRONT QUAD of a historic college (if open that day)
  • the RAF bar and the most famous bridge in China (really!)
  • a small 19th century lab that was once the world's greatest science centre
  • stunning LANDMARKS
  • the river Cam and its charming BRIDGES

    We'll look at Trinity, the greatest college in Cambridge, richest in Europe, and most prestigious in England, with 34 Nobel Prizes. If the Great Gate is open, we'll see the Great Court, where the famous race in Chariots of Fire took place.

    We'll mainly talk about the interesting statue over the front gate, and the dastardly tree just beside it.

  3. St. John's College

    Trecere fără oprire

    I'll tell you the story of the foundation of this most prestigious college, the second largest in Cambridge, and the despicable story behind the rivalry between St. John's and Trinity next door.

  4. Trinity College Bridge

    10 min Intrarea inclusă

    IF THE GATE IS OPEN,

    We'll go into the grounds of Trinity College and admire the wonderful Wren Library and palatial St John College student residence across the river.

    We'll also watch the punts making their way up and down the river from the bridge.

  5. Garret Hostel Bridge

    15 min Intrarea inclusă

    We'll take in the gorgeous view of Clare Bridge and Kings College Bridge, and I'll tell you the tragic but romantic stories that lie behind them. I'll tell you about the damage caused by a famous nursery rhyme character. You'll also see the beautiful garden that inspired David Attenborough.

  6. The Backs

    10 min

    We'll see the wonderful, classic view of Kings College from the Backs, and learn about its founder, the weakest King of England ever, and how his strong, loving wife saved the day - time after time!

    • Please note: admission to the Backs is free, but not to Kings College.

  7. Oprirea 7

    10 min

    We'll see Queens' College from the river. This college was founded by not just one, but two rival queens of England: the Red Queen and the White Queen!

    We'll also talk about the most dangerous and famous man ever to come to Queens' College - Erasmus.

  8. Old Cavendish Laboratory

    5 min

    [TIME PERMITTING!]

    Once the greatest centre of science in the world, this 19th century lab was where all the world's great scientists used to hang out. If the gate / door is open, we'll try to go inside.

  9. Corpus Clock

    5 min

    This must be the most disgusting clock you;ve ever seen, which makes it strangely attractive. There's much, much more than meets the eye...

  10. Oprirea 10

    10 min

    This is Cambridge's second oldest pub, and it's full of amazing stories! DNA, a poignant war memorial and place of pilgrimage in a bar, a very tragic ghost story...
