Hidden Cambridge Walking Tour: The Quirky and The Unusual｜United Kingdom

You will discover numerous fascinating sites and stories in the centre of Cambridge that even most "locals" don't know about.

Since around 2018, every 7 or 8 months or so, tiny doors have been appearing around Cambridge. What on earth is going on? Not only will you find out but you will visit two of the most-loved ones.

Gargoyles – after nearly killing one professor – have returned in force to one particular college, where, just maybe, we will be able to identify “Colin” and “Sue”.

You’ll find out about a very well-known architect who turned his hand to lamp post design in Cambridge. You won’t find these anywhere else in the world!

Students in Cambridge have regularly gotten up to crazy antics, but thank goodness nothing went wrong when Michael Kosterlitz had a go.

For one professor at Trinity College, you’ll never imagine what he discovered on his way into the college one day. Even more surprising, it’s still there!

Your flower knowledge and medieval French will be tested at St John’s.

On Bridge Street we’ll uncover the great injustice done to Thorsteinn Viggosson.

It’s never a good idea to make the colleges angry. They don’t forget. Magdalene College waited 415 years but then got their revenge!

For Harry Potter fans, I’m afraid you won’t find any filming locations in Cambridge, but we do have one rather unusual link.

If that's not enough, we'll even throw in one or two more surprises.
