Dinky Doors Trail: What are Dinky Doors? Well, they’re doors.Small ones.‘Dinky’, even. Miniature sculptures (with doors), lovingly made and hidden just out of plain sight in the beautiful city of Cambridge. They’re petite portals into other worlds, made with a dollop of humour to spark imaginations and make people smile. There’s even an elaborate story behind them, that you can discover on the Dinky Doors Tour!
