Byron’s Pool

Many stories surround Lord Byron’s time as a student of Cambridge UniversityArriving in 1805, he wrote a letter complaining that it was a place of “mess and drunkenness”However, it seems as though Byron did manage to pass the time pleasantly enoughI’m not just talking about the pet bear he kept in his roomsHe spent a great deal of time walking in the village.

It is also said that on occasion Byron swam naked by moonlight in the lake, which is now known as Byron’s PoolA couple of miles past Grantchester in the south Cambridgeshire countryside, the pool is surrounded by beautiful circular paths around the fieldsThe cries of invisible birds make the trip a lovely experience and on the way home you can drop into the village for afternoon teaIf you don’t trust me, then perhaps you’ll take it from Virginia Woolf – over a century after Byron, she reportedly took a trip to swim in the same pool
