Discover the Hidden History of Cambridge with Local Historian & Blue Badge Guide Allan Brigham. Allan is Chairman of the Friends of the Folk Museum. He regularly speaks and writes about Cambridge.Many local people know more about villages visited on holiday in Tuscany or Yorkshire than about their home town. These Walking Tours offer an introduction to Cambridge for all those who always meant to take a closer look, but never quite had the time.
