Publisher's Synopsis
Walk along pavements embedded with flowers, discover how John Hodson rose from a college servant to become a rich man, only to lose it all in a famous scandal, and find a monument erected by the deposed prince of Siam in memory of his faithful pooch. These walks will not only take you through ancient college cloisters to reveal Cambridge s most famous sights, but also lead you far from the well-trodden tourist path, bringing to life long-forgotten voices and telling some surprising tales. The book contains 8 illustrated walks with details about the best cafés & pubs, information on local attractions, museums and galleries and detailed maps to help you find your way.
