Cambridge City Tour

We take in some parks and commons (minding out for the cows) as well as seeing rowing and College boathouses. Then we move into the very centre to look at St John’s College, Trinity College Great Gate and sometimes we get inside Trinity College Great Court where Harrold Abraham ran round in the time it took to strike 12 noon. From here we stop on top of Garrett Hostel Bridge to take some amazing photos of ‘The Backs’ of the Colleges and people punting.

Then we start to get off the beaten track and visit the Cambridge University Real Tennis courts and see how the game is played followed by the University Library and the Sidgwick Site, which is arguably the centre of the University of Cambridge. We then get to The Best Spot to take that iconic photo of Kings College Chapel before meandering back past the Mathematical Bridge and Queens’ College, stopping on Kings Parade to check out the most amazing Corpus Christi Gold Clock that was given to the College by John Taylor. We just have time to 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.

We meet under the lamp in the middle of Parker’s Piece (see meeting point page here) just to the south of the City Centre at 10:30am before walking to our garage to pick up the bikes on Elm Street and off we go! The tour will finish back at the garage just after 1pm.
