Queens' College
Enter Queens' College, the best preserved medieval college in Cambridge. You'll wander through its stunning Tudor Cloister Court, one of the most authentic medieval spaces in the city.

Great St Mary's Church (Church of England)
Pass Great St Mary's, the university church at the heart of Cambridge. You'll hear how this building has long served as a focal point for both the university and the town around it.

Walk by Gonville & Caius College, one of Cambridge's older and quieter colleges. You'll discover a piece of the city's academic history often overlooked by visitors rushing between the bigger names.
