Senate House Once you’ve left Oxford, you’ll make your way to the beautiful city of Cambridge. It’s here that you will visit Senate House at the world-famous University of Cambridge. Before used by the Council of the Senate for important meetings, it is now the chosen location for students’ degree ceremonies. You’ll get to explore this special location and discover its important history before venturing onto the Corpus Clock!

First visit to Oxford and Cambridge

Peter Rabbit and Jagg were amazing, Peter explained many things and knows a lot about the tour, especially places that a common guide would not always take you to
