To the Castle and Back: A Sponsored A to Z Walk Through Cambridge’s Architectural Landmarks – From the Well-Known to the Well-Kept Secret

As part of our commitment to the Cambridge community, the Colleges and Heritage Building Surveying Team at Bidwells is organising a sponsored walk from Bidwells HQ in Trumpington to Cambridge Castle Mound – and back. This scenic route, covering approximately 7 miles, will take us on an A to Z journey through some of the city’s most iconic and hidden architectural treasures.

We are proud to be fundraising for It Takes a City, a Cambridge-based charity working to end homelessness through collaboration and community support.

Along the way, the team will also be capturing photographs of local heritage sites – both celebrated and hidden – to contribute to the Missing Pieces Project by Historic England, helping to fill in gaps in the national heritage record.

We’d love your support
