Favorite Places on My Walking Tour of Cambridge UK
Is Cambridge UK walkable? Oh yes, very much so. Actually, walking is the best way to experience Cambridge.
- Cambridge historical colleges form the main attraction of this college town. Walking down King’s Parade is a beautiful experience.
- Walking along the backs of the colleges gives you a completely different view of Cambridge’s old center.
- Going punting along River Cam is a unique experience.
- Cambridge old churches are scattered all over the city’s center and they are beautiful to visit. One of my favorite quaint English churches is in Cambridge.
- Strolling through beautiful gardens especially during sunny days during the spring is absolutely stunning.

1. The Round Church
![A Charming Walking Tour of Cambridge UK (with map) 3 The Round Church is the best spot for starting any walking tour of Cambridge UK](https://www.touristbee.com/photos/England/Cambridge-03_2011/images/2011-03-09_IMG_3562.jpg)
The first stop on our walking tour of Cambridge UK is the Round Church, also known as the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. The Round Church was built by crusaders in the 12th century and is one of the oldest landmarks in Cambridge.
One of only four medieval round churches still in use in England, the Round Church is constructed in the Gothic architectural style. The visitor’s center offers exhibits on the history of the city and the church. It is the perfect place to begin our walking tour because of its iconic appearance and central location in the Cambridge city center.
2. Great St Mary’s Church
Get ready for a climb! At the North end of King’s Parade, we will come across Great St Mary’s Church.
Look up at the imposing stone tower, which houses the bells that have rung out every day for hundreds of years. For a small fee, you can ascend the staircase within the tower and take in sweeping views of the Historical Colleges. We will visit a couple of these later on our walking tour of Cambridge.
The church has a close relationship with Cambridge University – in fact, it is still required that undergraduate students live within three miles of the church. Inside, enjoy the quiet atmosphere under wooden beamed ceilings and learn about the church’s two impressive organs.

3. Sheep’s Green
![A Charming Walking Tour of Cambridge UK (with map) 11 Beautiful view of punting boats moored on River Cam.](https://www.touristbee.com/photos/England/Cambridge_walking_tour-04_2011/images/2011-04-21_IMG_4981.jpg)
At the end of Mill Lane you will find yourself on the banks of the River Cam. If you’re in a seafaring mood, you can take a boat tour of the Historical Colleges along the river. You may also hire a punt, kayak, or canoe to explore independently. Then, stroll diagonally through the picturesque Sheep’s Green. You will pass by many small ponds and bridges in this expansive park, and eventually you will arrive on the opposite bank of the river.
4. Mathematical Bridge
![A Charming Walking Tour of Cambridge UK (with map) 13 The quirky wooden Mathematical Bridge over River Cam is a popular stop on any walking tour of Cambridge UK.](https://www.touristbee.com/photos/England/Cambridge_historical-04_2011/images/2011-04-07_IMG_2100.jpg)
After walking east on Silver Street, you will find Queen’s College on your left. Near Queen’s College, there is a view of a small wooden bridge. Although its real name is Wooden Bridge, it is known in Cambridge history as Mathematical Bridge because of its fascinating engineering and construction.
There is a popular myth that Isaac Newton built this bridge without using any screws, bolts, or nails. In reality, it was designed and constructed by William Etheredge and James Essex in 1749. It is held together with typical fasteners, but it is famous for its elegant rounded arch shape…even though it is built with only straight planks of wood! You can cross the bridge yourself and explore Queen’s College for £3.50.
5. Walk The Backs
![A Charming Walking Tour of Cambridge UK (with map) 15 Beautiful back view of King's College and its Chapel.](https://www.touristbee.com/photos/England/Cambridge_historical-04_2011/images/2011-04-09_IMG_4605.jpg)
A large portion of the remainder of our walking tour of Cambridge UK will take place along The Backs, a scenic tree-lined path that follows the back sides of the Historical Colleges. The Backs is flanked by the colleges’ huge lawns, which have been well-preserved for centuries as a popular green space.
6. King’s College Chapel
![A Charming Walking Tour of Cambridge UK (with map) 17 King's College Chapel and The Old Schools seen from Saint Mary's Church Tower.](https://www.touristbee.com/photos/England/Cambridge-03_2011/images/2011-03-09_IMG_3719.jpg)
King’s College was not built in a day – in fact, it was not even built in seventy years. Construction on the chapel began in 1446, and was still incomplete when King Henry VIII was coronated in 1509. The chapel was finally completed in 1531 with the installation of vivid stained glass windows. Construction of the chapel took place during the Wars of the Roses, which is part of the reason it took so long. Inside, look up at the intricate, lacy ceilings. Walk along the bold black and white marble floor to the altar, where you can view The Adoration of the Magi by well-known Flemish artist Peter Paul Rubens.
If you’re planning to come to Cambridge, make sure you checkout the official King’s College website for the best information about visiting this beautiful chapel.
When you’ve had your fill of the chapel’s stunning architecture and history, exit King’s College and head towards Clare College, just to the west on the bank of the river. There are two stops left on our walking tour of Cambridge UK.
7. Fellows’ Garden at Clare College
![A Charming Walking Tour of Cambridge UK (with map) 19 People punting on River Cam next to Clare College.](https://www.touristbee.com/photos/England/Cambridge_walking_tour-04_2011/images/2011-07-15_IMG_3234.jpg)
Just across the river from Clare College is the sprawling green expanse of the Fellows’ Garden. The garden was designed by Nevill Willmer, a professor of History at Cambridge. Willmer’s interest in color theory paid off in the beautiful flora of the garden.
![A Charming Walking Tour of Cambridge UK (with map) 21 The walkway to Clare College is lined up with blooming tulips in the spring.](https://www.touristbee.com/photos/England/Cambridge_walking_tour-04_2011/images/2011-04-09_IMG_4454.jpg)
It is a particularly special place to visit in the spring, when bright sunlight illuminates hundreds of colorful flowers. A small admission fee allows you to wander the garden at your leisure and engage in scholarly thought – or just enjoy the scenery.
8. St John’s College
![A Charming Walking Tour of Cambridge UK (with map) 23 The covered bridge of sighs at St. John's college seen from a boat](https://www.touristbee.com/photos/England/Cambridge_walking_tour-04_2011/images/2011-04-24_IMG_2358.jpg)

Cambridge Walk
My self-guided walking tour of Cambridge starts in Cambridge Market Square. It’s centrally located, so it’s easy to get to from the train station, coach and bus stops, and on foot from other parts of the city.
![cambridge city tour map Cambridge Market](https://www.aladyinlondon.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Cambridge-Market.jpg)
If you want to, you can spend a bit of time exploring the market or getting something to eat before you begin.
You can also admire Great St Mary’s, the University Church, Cambridge. It sits right next to the market and has a tower with great views of the city. They’re worth seeing if you’re up for a climb.
![cambridge city tour map View of King's College Chapel, Cambridge](https://www.aladyinlondon.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Kings-College-Chapel-Cambridge.jpg)

From there, head south past King’s College Chapel on King’s Parade. As you go, you’ll see lots of shops and restaurants on your left and the beautiful buildings of King’s College on your right.

When you’ve passed Queens’ College, turn right onto the pathway between Silver Street and Queens’ Road. It will take you around to The Backs.
These grassy areas along the River Cam are great places to soak up the sun and watch the punts go by. Feel free to stop and sit for a while to take it all in.

The college has since become one of the most prestigious and famous educational institutions in the world. It’s also one of the most-visited colleges in Cambridge.
King’s College Chapel
The King’s College Chapel in Cambridge was built in the late 15th and early 16th centuries. Its stunning architecture and intricate designs are a huge draw for tourists in Cambridge, but its most famous attraction is the King’s College Choir.
This prestigious choir has been performing in the chapel for centuries, and you can check out performances for free.
Trinity College
Trinity College in Cambridge is one of the oldest and most prestigious colleges in the world! It was founded by King Henry VIII in the early 16th century and boasts an impressive list of alumni, including famous scientists, politicians, and writers. In fact, Trinity College has produced more Nobel Prize winners than any other college at Cambridge University, with a total of 32 laureates!
Corpus Clock
![cambridge city tour map Corpus-Clock-Cambridge](https://manymoremaps.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Corpus-Clock-Cambridge.jpeg)
The Corpus Clock in Cambridge is a relatively new addition to the city, having been unveiled in 2008! It was designed by John C. Taylor, a local inventor and horologist, and features a unique and intricate design that has captured the attention of people from all over the world. The clock is located on the outside of the Taylor Library at Corpus Christi College.
The Eagle Pub
The Eagle Pub in Cambridge has a rich and fascinating history that dates back over 500 years! It was originally called the Eagle and Child and is famously known as the place where Francis Crick and James Watson announced their discovery of the structure of DNA in 1953. The pub has become a beloved institution in Cambridge and continues to be a popular spot for locals and visitors alike!
Mathematical Bridge
The Mathematical Bridge in Cambridge is a unique and odd-looking bridge that was first built in 1749! It spans the River Cam and connects two parts of Queen’s College. Legend has it that the bridge was designed by Sir Isaac Newton himself, but this has been proven to be a myth!
This is one of the top attractions to see when you’re punting in Cambridge .

Tolkien, and William Pitt the Younger, Britain’s youngest-ever Prime Minister.
FAQs About Walking Tours in Cambridge
![cambridge city tour map Cambridge university colleges](https://manymoremaps.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Cambridge-university-colleges.jpg)
What are the benefits of taking a Cambridge walking tour?
Cambridge walking tours will give you a local’s insight into the history and traditions of Cambridge, most of which you’d never find out about by visiting the sites of Cambridge independently. You’ll also have the opportunity to ask any questions you have to a local.
What should I wear on a Cambridge walking tour?
Comfortable shoes are essential on a Cambridge walking tour because there are quite a few cobbled streets in the city and, obviously, since it’s a walking tour, you’ll be spending a lot of time on your feet and walking. Cambridge Walking Tours go ahead rain or shine, so pack waterproof clothes!
Is there a bad time to take a Cambridge walking tour?
I do not recommend taking a Cambridge walking tour in May. That’s because most of the Cambridge University colleges are closed for university exams. During tours at this time, you’ll only be able to check out the colleges from the outside.
![cambridge city tour map Ancient buildings in Cambridge UK](https://manymoremaps.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Ancient-buildings-in-Cambridge-UK.jpg)
Final Thoughts: Best Cambridge Walking Tours
For many of you, visiting Cambridge will be a once-in-a-lifetime experience, so you should do it right and join a walking tour to get the most out of your trip! My number one pick for the best walking tour of Cambridge is the Cambridge University Alumni-led Colleges Tour .
You’ll check out all of the coolest spots in Cambridge, led by a Cambridge University student, on the top-rated and #1 reviewed walking tour in Cambridge!
Once you’ve completed your Cambridge walking tour you’ll probably be ready for a break. You’re in luck! Cambridge has plenty of great afternoon tea venues that you should check out if you have time.
Ella Moore is the founder of Many More Maps. Growing up just 45 minutes away from Liverpool, Ella has spent years exploring the city inside out. In her teenage years, she was introduced to the music of The Beatles, and the rest, they say, is history! Today, she stands as a leading authority on Beatles tourism in Liverpool, helping over 40,000 people a month to plan their dream trip to the city.

Cambridge is one of England’s most beautiful cities and a fantastic destination, no matter what time of year you plan to visit.
During the summer, Cambridge is the perfect destination to try punting. Look at the river and enjoy views of the bridges and university buildings as you meander.
Cambridge is one of the UK’s driest cities, so with luck, you should have a pleasant and dry day whatever time of year you choose to visit.

Cambridge’s main sights and attractions can be seen in a day, making it the perfect day trip from London .

To make the most of your visit, we recommend joining a guided wa lking tour ( I recommend taking a tour which includes access to King’s College Chapel)
Both cities have their unique charms and are worth a visit.
Cambridge is a smaller city than Oxford. There is less to do and see but it is a beautiful and easy city to explore in a day.
Oxford is the larger city and has lots of things to see and do so could easily fill 2 days if you wish to explore all its colleges and museums. It is also the perfect destination to visit if you are considering a road trip to the Cotswolds.
If you are a Harry Potter fan head to Oxford where you will find several film locations used in a number of the movies.

As I have mentioned, both cities are doable for day trips from London by train. If you only have one day and want to see both cities take this Oxford & Cambridge Day Tour from London.

Accommodation in Cambridge
We have stayed in Cambridge twice over the past few years to spend additional time exploring this beautiful English city. As we were travelling by train, we chose the Centennial Hotel located near the train station (which gave us the option of catching the bus to the centre or a 20-minute walk)

This comfortable hotel is conveniently located a 15-minute walk from the University Colleges and city centre hotspots and is on bus routes.

Customer Reviews
Debbie bell.
Great sightseeing trip around Cambridge
Judith Lievense-Blok
First part really good and with some very interesting facts in there. For those paying attention and listening , we had a few good laughs... Second part we would skip in future with our students. Best sights are in the first part anyway. Our students (14/15 years old) lost their attention after about half of the tour. (Stop 1-14 OK...So start at Silver street and get off there the first time around would be my advice for schoolgroups because stop 14 till end was ... mwah.... in our opinion)
