Highlights

Cambridge - The tour specific itinerary will vary depending on group and questions but typical itinerary:
Magdalene College - We start at Magdalene Bridge, a crossroads since before England existed and site of a ‘ducking stool’ for witches
The Round Church Visitor Centre - Hear the story of the Round Church, founded by returning Crusaders and the scene of many exorcisms
Clare College - Clare College - The home of the bizarre story of the original ‘skeleton in the cupboard’
Market Square - Market Square - Home to lovely streetfood now, but 500 years ago it was a different meat burning….
St Bene’t’s Church (Church of England) - Benet Streer - The oldest building in Cambridge, opposite a pub whose lease states a particular window must always be open because of the suffocating feeling all customers experience when its ghosts are trapped inside
Corpus Christi College - Corups Christi - Home of some famous ghosts, including a Master of the college and another famous cupboard!
Sidney Sussex College - Sidney Sussex - The resting place of Oliver Cromwell - well, a bit of him at least, and maybe not resting as such…
