  1. Paul Vivas ★★★★★

    Beautiful & Historical College This is one of my favorite colleges in Cambridge. It is grand and beautiful. Dating back since 1352 it is really old and has been at the center of Cambridge education since a really long time. It has a fantastic lawn and an amazing Britishness to it that I personally really like. Well worth your time to visit, even if not as famous as some of the other colleges I still think this is a unique and precious building. Highly recommended!

    Corpus Christi College is one of the smaller but very charming colleges of the University of Cambridge, founded in 1352. Despite its modest size, it has a rich history and a cozy, intimate atmosphere that sets it apart from some of the larger, more imposing colleges. The college is known for its beautiful courtyards, classic architecture, and peaceful gardens. One of its highlights is the Parker Library, which houses a remarkable collection of medieval manuscripts, some dating back over a thousand years—making it a treasure trove for historians and scholars. Corpus Christi also sits along the River Cam, with a picturesque riverside area that’s perfect for a quiet walk or watching punters glide by. The college’s blend of historic charm, academic significance, and serene surroundings makes it a hidden gem in Cambridge, often less crowded than some of the more famous colleges, which adds to its appeal.

    Finally came back to Cambridge after finishing my study and leaving the place 8 years ago. Had a great time visiting Corpus Christi. Porter was super nice and gave us a detailed map of where we could go. Thank you for making my visit as an alumnus enjoyable. (Not all college porters are this nice. There are some awful ones at other colleges!!)

    Even if smaller compared to other colleges in Cambridge, Corpus Christi College is truly a small paradise in the heart of the city. Beautiful architecture and a very interesting history. The entrance ticket is cheap and it's worth the visit.

  2. Thomas Müthing (theviolinproject.de) ★★★★☆

    Much smaller than the famous King's College, Corpus Christi College is one of the oldest, and well worth the UKP 5 entry price they'll charge you to visit the grounds and chapel. The "Old Court" dates back to 1350s and features some of the oldest buildings in Cambridge, while the "New Court" was established in 1827. The chapel is quite lovely, if small, the current building is also from 1827. It's painted glass windows came from Germany when the Abbey of Mariawald was demolished in the Napoleonic wars. You can walk the grounds of the college, but of course the students' quarters are off-limits to tourists, as are the mensa and several other areas, all of which are clearly indicated by signs. SO essentially, a visit of roundabout 20 minutes for the current price of a pint.

    Beautiful building and worth visiting

  2. H R ★★★★☆

    One of the less known college among the thirty one semi autonomous college in Cambridge. It was built in 1352 by by the Guild of Corpus Christi and the Guild of the Blessed Virgin Mary. It is the only college founded the Cambridge people. It is the sixth oldest college in Cambridge. The rest of the colleges were founded by the nobles and the royals. Impressive architecture and wonderful history.

    Lovely college in Cambridge which you can visit along the way to the market square! It has a small and pretty little chapel within. Don't forget to check out the famous Corpus Clock outside of the college too!
