Full Description

Explore one of the most haunted cities in England and uncover the chilling history of Cambridge on this private ghost walking tour led by graduates and students of the University.

Over approximately one hour, you will walk through atmospheric streets and historic college lanes while discovering centuries of folklore, documented hauntings, and mysterious events. Cambridge is widely known for academic excellence and scientific discovery — yet behind its elegant college façades lies a darker past shaped by plague, superstition, and unexplained phenomena.

Hear stories of restless spirits reported in college courts, unsettling sightings linked to Corpus Christi College, and strange occurrences at Peterhouse that have attracted national attention. Along the way, you will also uncover tales connected to Oliver Cromwell, supernatural folklore tied to historic pubs, and chilling historical moments that shaped the city’s reputation.

Unlike theatrical ghost tours that rely on costumes or jump scares, this experience offers intelligent storytelling grounded in real history, folklore, and university traditions.

As evening falls and the streets quieten, Cambridge reveals a different character — shadowed lanes, ancient buildings, and a unique atmosphere that makes this experience ideal for couples, private groups, and special occasions.
