Beneath the scholarly spires of Cambridge, hidden dramas and centuries-old secrets shimmer just beneath the surface. Embark on a self-guided audio tour through twisting lanes and storied courtyards, unearthing corners that most wanderers never notice.

Why did Queen Elizabeth I give a cryptic warning to Emmanuel College’s founder? Which century-old feud almost tore Downing Place United Reformed Church in two? And why do ducks rule the pond while an ancient swimming pool quietly defies the passage of time?

Walk through moments of rebellion, alliance, and renewal, moving from medieval priory stones to the hum of contemporary arcades where bicycles race old ghosts. With every step, Cambridge’s spirit grows richer, stranger, more alive.

Curiosity has brought you this far—let it pull you further into the heart of Cambridge’s greatest mysteries. Begin your journey now and uncover what others have left undiscovered.
