In Cambridge, even the cobblestones echo with secrets—glorious scandals in ancient halls, rebel law firms scheming behind polished doors, and sudden bursts of student mischief around every corner. This self-guided audio tour peels back layers that most visitors never see, revealing the city’s drama and wit through surprising stories and overlooked gems.

Who risked everything for a forbidden idea inside Christ’s College during a night thick with political intrigue? What peculiar quarrel split rival solicitors on Sidney Street, leaving whispers of betrayal in their wake? And just how many cups of tea kept lawyers going through Cambridge’s record-breaking 239-day legal battle?

Stride from sunlit courts to shadowy alleyways. Trace the rise and fall of empires, dodge academic rebellions, and discover how even the hum of everyday life hides deep mysteries. Cambridge waits, unruly and extraordinary.
