Early morning in Grantchester feels like the opening shot of a period drama: low sun on reeds, the river Cam pushing quietly past willows, and a village high street that still holds the cadence of ordinary life. On this private two-hour walking tour a local guide leads you from the village green into the meadows and down lanes used repeatedly as backdrops for the TV series Grantchester. You’ll visit more than 15 screen locations — the church interior and exterior, riverside meadows, village pubs, high street façades and the houses that doubled for characters’ homes.
