Timekeepers and Titans: The Scholarly Saga of Cambridge’s Majestic Mile

Audio guide15 stops

A city where ancient spires hide digital revolutions and legends are whispered among quiet courtyards, Cambridge is more than what first meets the eye. This self-guided audio tour invites you beyond the postcard views to unearth the stories, scandals, and moments of rebellion that shaped these remarkable colleges and computing halls. Who risked royal wrath by secretly draining a neighbor’s treasure to build St Catharine’s? What vanished tradition once set Corpus Christi ablaze with color and silver in the shadow of the Black Death? Why does an oddly named email system connect millions across the world from one tucked-away archway? Move through open greens where students debated forbidden ideas and stride under gothic arches pulsing with secret histories. Each step promises new revelations—academic drama, bold experiments, stubborn townsfolk, even a masterful self-vote for power. Walk into Cambridge’s beating heart. Press play and let centuries of hidden ambition guide your path today.
