Great St Mary's

Beautiful Anglican Cathedral This is an iconic Church in the hypercentre of Cambridge. It sits right in front of Cambridge market and next to some of the top colleges. The building is beautiful and is historical dating back a few centuries. To be noted this is a great place also to climb up the stairs to get a view of Cambridge town centre. You can buy tickets in advance but you can also get them here too.

Reasonable sized church in the middle of Cambridge, which is free to enter, however to go up the bell tower it is £7.50. Outside the church is the very touristy area of Cambridge, so stepping inside for some peace and tranquility is much appreciated. Lovely stained glass windows and high ceilings make the church fairly impressive, although it doesn't take too long to see everything.

One of the highlights building in Cambridge. It's very impressive construction, but the tower stands out. You have to climb the one hundred twenty seven steps to admire the vest overview of the city. The only 'but' could be that you have to pay almost nine euros to do it.

The Church of St Mary the Great, often called Great St Mary’s, is one of the most important and historic churches in Cambridge. It stands right in the heart of the city, next to the marketplace and opposite the Senate House of the University of Cambridge. The church dates back to the 15th century in its current form, though there was a parish church on the site much earlier. It has long been tied to the University of Cambridge, serving as the official university church. For centuries, major university ceremonies and sermons were held here, making it central to academic life. Architecturally, it is a beautiful example of late Gothic style, with a tall tower that dominates the city center. Visitors can climb the tower, which offers one of the best panoramic views of Cambridge—the colleges, the market square, and even the countryside beyond. Inside, you’ll find elegant wooden galleries, a fine organ, and striking stained-glass windows.

Was walking passed and saw a sign to climb up the tower, so I was sold. 123 steps gets you to the top where you get amazing views from one of the tallest buildings in Cambridge.

Beautiful views. Prepare for a bit of cardio on your way up and down! Well maintained and peaceful once at the top. Maybe bring a jumper as it can get chilly!

Nice church where you can climb to the bell tower, about 120 steps so 3-5m. The church is free but the climb is about 7 quid.
