Looking like a prime setting for a Dan Brown novel, Cambridge’s atmospheric Round Church is one of only four round medieval churches in England. It was built by the mysterious Knights Templar in 1130, making it older than the university, and the unusual circular knave is ringed by chunky Norman pillars. Guided walks explore the church and local area, leaving on Saturday and Sunday at 2.15pm.
