Mill Road Walking Tour

A walking tour of Mill Road

A walking tour of Cambridge’s Mill Road looking at the history of buildings that played an important part in the road’s leisure scene in the 19th and 20th centuries.

On this tour we will visit places that still exist – and look at photos of what they looked like in the past – as well as buildings that are long gone but still hold a special place in the heart of Mill Road residents.

Starting point: Outside Parkside Pool, on the corner of Gonville Place and Mill Road
End point: Just over the Mill Road railway bridge, at the Earl of Beaconsfield
Length: 1.2 km / 0.75 mi
Last updated: November 2017
