The Corpus Clock

The Corpus Clock, also known as the Grasshopper clock, is a large sculptural clock at street level on the outside of the Taylor Library at Corpus Christi College in Cambridge Historical Area.

It has a really great panoramic view from Cambridge but I need to mention that the 123 steps from the staircase are a bit hideous. My wife for example struggled a bit due to the repetitive view of the stairs going up in circle. Also mind your head 😅

Just an amazing intricate design and marvelous creation of this machine. I personally think it's a masterpiece of an art presented in a Clock, with a robotic insect dialing the clock in one direction.

The Corpus Clock is one of the most striking public monuments in Cambridge. It is a unique and strange looking sculptural clock mounted at street level at Corpus Christi College. As it's at street level and on a busy junction, taking photos is not very easy with people walking across and there's always a gathering of people there who come to see it. Highly recommend visiting while on tour in Cambridge.

This is a true gem for tourists. While daytime visits can be quite hectic with the constant flurry of picture-taking around you, I highly recommend experiencing it at night. The serene atmosphere allows you to appreciate its beauty without the pressure of crowds. The stunning display of lights further accentuates the artistry of this masterpiece.
