Cambridge might be best known for its university, home to some of the world’s greatest minds (Milton, Darwin, Hawking, etc.). But there’s a vibrant theater and arts scene here as well, and you’ll find fantastic contemporary restaurants mixed in with traditional pubs. Climb the tower of Great St. Mary’s Church for sweeping views of the city.

Come and see the fascinating library collection of Samuel Pepys at Magdalene College Cambridge. The library is housed in their original bookcases, or ‘book presses’ as Pepys called them, and the collection includes his original diaries. Upon entering the library, we will ask you to keep your bags in the library office. This is to ensure the safety and security of the bookcases. Please note that there are periodic closures of the library thoughtout the year; for dates of closure please see our website. Groups of over 10 people must book a group tour in advance, outside of the public opening hours. For further details please see our website. We regret that, due to the historic nature of the building, that there is no lift access to the library and that children under 6 years old cannot be admitted. We hope to improve our access and provision for children in the future as part of the College's 'Future Foundations' fundraising campaign.

Most churches are built on the cruciform or cross principal. This one is round from about 1130 AD and modelled upon the Holy Sepulchre built by Constantine in Jerusalem over Christ’s tomb. The design is called Romanesque and it is often seen in France - but rarely seen in England. I was warmly welcomed by the staff upon arrival and enjoyed an interesting video on Cambridge. The church itself is fasdcinating architecture inside but especially outside.
