The narrow lanes off Market Square close in like pages of an old book as the city lowers its pace and the river slips into shadow. On a private haunted walking tour of Cambridge you move through illuminated arches, past college gates and along the River Cam where the night seems to hold its breath; lanterns and streetlamps pick out stone carvings and ironwork that have watched a thousand footsteps.
