A high-information Cambridge walking tour that explains how world-changing ideas were discovered, not just who discovered them. Walk Cambridge’s historic streets and college viewpoints while hearing the real stories behind Newton, Hawking, and the DNA breakthrough.
In Cambridge, science didn’t happen in isolation. It happened in college courtyards, quiet lanes, and rooms where students and scholars argued their way towards new ideas. This shared Cambridge Discovery Walking Tour is built for first-time visitors who want more than a checklist of landmarks.
Instead of name-dropping, the tour follows the process: what Newton actually changed about the laws of nature, how Hawking approached the biggest questions in cosmology, and how the DNA story unfolded through evidence and reasoning. It’s story-led, clear, and genuinely beginner-friendly.
