Byron39。s Pool Many stories surround Lord Byron39。s time as a student of Cambridge University. Arriving in 1805, he wrote a letter plaining that it was a place of mess and drunkenness. However, it seems as though Byron did manage to pass the time pleasantly enough. I39。m not just talking about the pet bear he kept in his rooms. He 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 Byron39。s Pool. A couple of miles past Grantchester in the south Cambridgeshire countryside, the pool is surrounded by beautiful circular paths around the fields. The cries of invisible birds make the trip a lovely experience and on the way home you can drop into the village for afternoon tea.
