From Monday to Saturday, the market square comes to life with the Cambridge Market. Since the Saxon times, although re-built after a huge fire in 1949, it has been the heart of Cambridge's shopping area. Winding through the city runs the river Camb. Known for its punting, you can explore the famous city by water and make your way past some of Cambridge's most famous Colleges and landmarks like the Mathematical Bridge, King's College Chapel, the Bridge of Sighs and the Wren Library. Since its inauguration in 2008 the "Grasshopper" Corpus Clock on the corner of Corpus' Taylor Library has been admired by residents and tourists alike. An extraordinary feat of new technology, its shining 24-carat gold dial and gruesome time-keeper stands proudly facing onto King's Parade. Cambridge is easy to access and travel around. With its inner ring road and being surrounded by major roads such as the M11 and A14, you can expand your trip using your car hire to locations in and around Cambridge easily.
