Byron's Pool

Byron’s Pool in Grantchester is the former millpond of Trumpington Mill. The mill disappeared many years ago. The current weir was built after the floods of 1947. A stream to allow fish to pass upstream was added after 2000. Lord Byron is reputed to have swum there when a student at Cambridge, and Rupert Brooke when staying at the Old Rectory in Grantchester. Images were taken in the evening using a Full-spectrum camera with no added filters and processed in Lighroom.
