A self-guided walk, built from real records
The Mayflower Leiden Walk
Nine stops through Leiden's old city centre — the square, the court, the lanes and canals named again and again in the surviving archive records of the English congregation who lived here before sailing for America in 1620. Read it on your phone as you walk, or print it before you go.

Every stop is a real, documented location — a square, a court, a street, a canal, a bridge — cited to the same Leiden city archive records used throughout this site. Each one tells you what's there today, the route to the next stop, the history, and honestly, what the archive record does and doesn't prove.

Technical requirements & accessibility
Runs in any modern desktop or mobile browser with JavaScript enabled — no app to install. Each stop notes any known accessibility or practical considerations for that specific location (surface, steps, opening hours). Route distances and timings are estimates for an unhurried walking pace and don't include time spent inside any venue.
FAQ
Is this real history?
Yes. Every stop cites the same Leiden city archive records (Erfgoed Leiden en Omstreken) already published elsewhere on this site, and each one is honest about what the record does and doesn't prove — this isn't a guided tour with invented anecdotes.
Do I need to visit Leiden in person to use this?
No — the web version and PDF both work as a read-at-home guide too, though it's written for walking the actual streets.
How does the PDF work?
The PDF isn't a separate document — it's the same route page you read on your phone, printed. Open your access link, click "Print / Save as PDF", and choose your paper size (A4 or US Letter) in your browser's print dialog. Because it's the exact same content, the web version and the PDF can never disagree with each other.
Can I skip a stop?
Yes — each stop stands on its own, and the route page lets you jump straight to any stop from the overview.
Will opening hours and street layouts still be accurate?
We check what we can at the time of writing, but opening hours, admission prices and street layouts change — always check a venue's own website before planning a visit around it. See the full disclaimer.
Is there a refund policy?
As a digital product delivered immediately by email, you expressly waive the standard 14-day right of withdrawal at checkout — see the consent notice above and the disclaimer for details.
Is this affiliated with the Mayflower Society, a museum, or Erfgoed Leiden?
No. The Mayflower Leiden Walk is independently researched and built by Radicae / The Leiden Connection. It cites Erfgoed Leiden en Omstreken as the archive holding the underlying records, but is not produced, reviewed, or endorsed by them, by the Mayflower Society, by any museum, archive, municipality, or tour operator.
