Itinerary
The tour specific itinerary will vary depending on group and questions but typical itinerary:
We start at Magdalene Bridge, a crossroads since before England existed and site of a 'ducking stool' for witches
Hear the story of the Round Church, founded by returning Crusaders and the scene of many exorcisms
Clare College - The home of the bizarre story of the original 'skeleton in the cupboard'
Market Square - Home to lovely streetfood now, but 500 years ago it was a different meat burning....
Benet Streer - The oldest building in Cambridge, opposite a pub whose lease states a particular window must always be open because of the suffocating feeling all customers experience when its ghosts are trapped inside
Corups Christi - Home of some famous ghosts, including a Master of the college and another famous cupboard!
Sidney Sussex - The resting place of Oliver Cromwell - well, a bit of him at least, and maybe not resting as such...

Sid was a great guide, knowledgeable and entertaining. He answered all my kids questions and even looked up pictures of events he had described to show them. We were talking about the stuff we learnt for the rest of the day.
