Itinerary
So… you’d like to go on a quest to find all of Cambridge's mysterious Dinky Doors? A quest full of intrigue, mystery, fun and er… cute little creative sculptures? Well, that sounds like an excellent decision. There are (currently) 11 Dinky Doors to discover and this tour will guide you to their *TOP SECRET* locations! The locations listed on Trip Advisor are only approximate and don't reflect their exact locations. Because... well, they're *TOP SECRET* There's no prescribed order to visit them in. Around here you'll visit Mr D. Mon at our Love from Above door.
On finding this door, perhaps you'll be able to teleport to the remaining ones? That should save you some time. Just bring enough 3p coins.
Something appears to be behind this next door trying to get out... could it be our glorious leader?
A lovely spot to check on the state of reality with a door that er... checks on the state of reality.
Ever wonder what happens to all the things we lose? You'll find the answer with this door.
A lovely park, and our door near here will give you quick access to two other parks, through the magic of magic spinning portals. Splendid.
The Cam is a beautiful river to wander along, and somewhere along here you might discover the world's only, and perhaps last, way to transform you letters and parcels into emails...
Prepare yourself, for you might find the scene of a terrible alien crash around here. But where did the survivor go? And who are they?
You're an octopus, and you want to treat yourself? Where should you go? Somewhere in the surrounding area is a luxury resort built just for our octopus friends.
The mysterious location of a terrible crime that shocked Cambridge to its core. What was there before, and what now remains?
Not immediately in Cambridge, so an optional visit with a car, bike or bus. Within this lovely and ancient park is a book about a legendary undefeated knight. Perhaps you can arrange to meet them?
Need a lift to space? You might just be in luck...

5Great experience
Really fun experience and got to see bits of Cambridge that you would have missed. Great that you can do it at your own pace in no set order. Only minor downside is that the interactive map seems a little bit temperamental at times and needs to be open and closed to re verify your location.
5Well worth the experience
Fantastic day out with the grandchildren
5The Dinkiest city on earth
Great activity to do inbetween shopping, eating, studying.
3Online map tour -solo
I bought the map online and it was not user friendly and hard to find the best route to see the house. I only manage to find 3 with my kids
5Great fun - especially for kids
We had a great time walking all around Cambridge, finding the doors and reading about them using the online self-guided tour. The kids never complained about the distance they had to walk, but were excited to use to the map to navigate and find each next door on the tour. A fantastic activity for families and adults alike.

About Cambridge
Cambridge is an English university city on the River Cam, famed for its ancient colleges, King's College Chapel and punts gliding along the Backs.
The university, founded in the early thirteenth century, still shapes the centre, with college courts, gatehouses and chapels opening off narrow streets. King's College Chapel, with its fan-vaulted ceiling and tall windows, is the best known, and Trinity's Great Court and the Bridge of Sighs at St John's are close behind. The Fitzwilliam Museum holds antiquities and paintings, and the market square has traded for centuries.
Top-ranked sights in Cambridge: King's College Chapel, Trinity College, Mathematical Bridge.
