What to expect

Enjoy a private guided tour through the idyllic village of Grantchester, as seen in the hit ITV drama. Grantchester is filmed on location in and around the village, which is situated just a couple of miles away from the historic city of Cambridge. This 2-hour walking tour starts in the heart of Grantchester. You'll be guided through familiar locations that required very little set dressing to transport them back to the 1950s. You may be surprised at how many film locations can be found on the vicar's doorstep.

The first episode was aired in 2014 when the world was introduced to Sydney Chambers: a village vicar who discovered a taste for sleuthing when he teamed up with Detective Inspector Geordie Keating. Many of the show's memorable moments take place in Grantchester Meadows, so pull on your walking boot, because no Grantchester tour would be complete without a visit to the Meadows.

Scenes in the Meadows and by the river included moments of loneliness, heartache, love, guilt, happiness and above all friendship, all of which will be discussed during the tour. What better way to reminisce over these scenes than by enjoying a leisurely walk along the banks of the River Cam?

The middle part of the tour includes a 20 minute (approximately) walk along the river, where you may be lucky enough to spot people punting, enjoying picnics and walking dogs who may or may not be called Dickens.
