Town Not Gown Cambridge History Tours

Discover the hidden history of Cambridge with local historian & Blue Badge Guide Allan Brigham. Allan is Chairman of the Friends of the Museum of Cambridge. He regularly speaks and writes about Cambridge.

Many local people know more about villages visited on holiday in Tuscany or Yorkshire than about their home town. These Walking Tours offer an introduction to Cambridge for all those who always meant to take a closer look, but never quite had the time.

Tours last 1 ½ to 2 hours unless specified. All welcome, children too! Group tours can be arranged for work or social groups.

You can just turn up on the day, but numbers are limited. To guarantee a place please book in advance. Please let me know if you can't come as there is a waiting list for some tours.

To book a place or for more information, contact Allan Brigham via email townnotgown@btinternet.com
