Here you can find links and downloads for the history of science and mathematics in Cambridge audio tour that is in production for Cambridge Festival 2022 and beyond. All the contributions have been designed for a general audience so, although the experts who wrote them could have gone deeper, we hope they will be accessible to everyone.

If you are using the tour and walking around the city, please take care on slippery cobbles and crossing roads. Don't forget to take the time to look around you and imagine what those who walked the parks and streets before you would have seen, heard, felt, and found inspiration in. A map is available here to help guide you around.

All the places on this tour have public access, or are visible from public streets. For access to specific museums and colleges, please apply to them individually.

This project wouldn't have been possible without the generous support of Cambridge University Press authors and scholars from around the world and I am so grateful for their help and enthusiasm. We hope this will be an insight into a Cambridge you might not know and that it will inspire you to find out more about the City and its people.
