Great St Mary's

The 360 view….worth it. Had to take congested, high gradient stairs. Not suitable for senior citizens or ppl with claustrophobia. But I enjoy the breathtaking view of Cambridge.

A must visit if you are in Cambridge. You can take some beautiful Photos of the city from above and see some Points of Interest, You do need to be fairly Fit as the spiral stairs to the top are quite steep and  incredibly narrow. You do go past the Bells of the Church on the way up wich are very interesting to see too. Althought the tower doesn't seem that high from ground level - it certaibnly feels high once you are at the top and getting to the top seems a long way too.
Also a wonderful 360 views of Cambridge from the tower. Climb the 123 steps up a narrow, winding staircase to enjoy panoramic views of such iconic buildings as Kings College and Chapel. We were very fortunate too to happen upon a recital in the church which made our short trip there more memorable.

The church is situated right in the heart of Cambridge next to the Cambridge Market Square and King's College Chapel. The entrance is free you only need to pay a small fee to go up to the tower. Can be bought on arrival. The tower offers a 360° view over entire Cambrige, but be preparer for narrow spiral stair, 123 steps. The views are very nice. You might need to wait fw minutes before entering the tower to go up and down. Not photograph is allowed inside. You can join the worshiping at any time or jut listen to the wonderfull chorus songs. Upon visiting the tower you get a leaflet with information about the church. Recomend a visit for church lovers and architectural lovers.

Great St Mary’s Church, located in the heart of Cambridge, serves as the University Church and a focal point of the city.
.
This historic building, with origins dating back to the 13th century, features impressive Gothic architecture and a beautiful interior.

The church is known for its rich history, including its role in university ceremonies and its connection to notable figures. Visitors can climb the tower for panoramic views of Cambridge, which is a highlight for many.

This is a beautiful historical building which is worth exploring. The entrance to the church is free. You can buy tickets to enter the tower (£6 pp) and enjoy a magnificent 360 view of the city. We totally recommend doing that as this is the best viewpoint in Cambridge. The views are stunning. Going up to the tower is via a tiny old stone staircase, it gives you that 'adventure' feel. We suggest coming here early in the morning, right after opening, as the tower can get pretty busy during the day, especially during weekends.

A beautiful church sitting between the market and the university. Known as the University of Cambridge's spiritual home since 1209.
It was a glorious day weather wise, and for £6 I took the opportunity to walk up the tower and admire the views. A narrow spiral stone staircase of 123 steps, not for the faint-hearted. You can also view the bells on your climb.
I would definitely recommend a visit if you're able.

The church is magnificent, displaying intricate architectural designs. A climb to the top is truly rewarding with a breathtaking view that calms the soul. An aesthetic blend of spirituality and natural beauty.

We climbed the tower and it was such a stunning view. 123 steps but a good system so people don’t meet on the narrow staircase. £7 per ticket.

Excellent views from the church tower. You might need to catch your breath after climbing all those round shaped steps but the amazing view will take your breath away. The church entry is free of charge but the tower visit requires a ticket. Family tickets for two adults and two kids are a good deal!

Interesting church with beautiful views from the tower. Just be prepared to wait a little while as they carefully control people on the stairs so you don't have to pass anyone when climbing.

This is a church with a 1000 year history which still operates and holds regular service. It's free to visit but you can pay £6 to climb 100+ steps to the top of the tower to get panoramic views of Cambridge which includes clear unobstructed views of Kings College and Chapel. Highly recommended!

The church itself is nothing extraordinary but worth to visit anyways. The tower is quite easy to clim and you get a great 360 view on Cambridge from the top. Ticket costs 6£ which is ok if you consider it as a donation to the church.

Stunning day out in Cambridge. Peeps are amazing and highly recommend going punting.

Stunning church in a beautiful Georgian Architecture.
The view from the tower is gorgeous and the insides of the church are quite nice.
It's also in a central spot and it's easy to reach other important places from here.

Can’t believe I lived in the city for 5 years, including being in this church many times, without actually going up the tower. The view from the top is stunning.

Great view of Cambridge from the tower. Cost 6 pounds per person to go up and you need to climb 124 stairs to make it. Worth it in my opinion :) the church it self is nice as well but nothing special, if you want an impressive cathedral you need to go to king's college which is right next to it and cost a tenner to get into

For £6, you can take more than 100 stairs to a high place to see the panoramic view of Cambridge
Many tourists will sit nearby to rest and eat, and feel very comfortable on vacation
From time to time, there will be different bells from the church
very shocking and funny
Time to sit and listen and have fun

Everyone visiting Cambridge should climb to the tower.
It can be a bit fatiguing for the elder, but view is totally worth it. We got lucky with a sunny day.
The church itself is also beautiful, with a rich history, like most of Cambridge.

For £4 you can go inside to see the church but most interestingly go up the 100 plus steps to the top for some really great views of Cambridge. They have a good set-up with metal fences to stop people jumping but they have holes in them allowing you to take photos. 1 of the best valued tourist spots in Cambridge.

It was an amazing experience. The stairs were narrower but worth the view from the top of the church. Affordable ticket price.
