Urban Ramble, part 4

After a detour to Byron's Pool, where Lord Byron regularly took a swim, we went through Granchester Village noting the statue of Rupert Brooke in the garden of The Old Vicarage where he used to live (the house is now owned by Jeffrey and Mary Archer) and proceeding to Granchester Church.

Doubling back to the Orchard Tea Rooms for a peep, the walk takes you along the bank of the River Cam, through Granchester Meadows (part of the broad green flood plain also encompassing Lammas Land, the Backs, Jesus Green, Midsummer Common and Stourbridge Common) and back into Cambridge itself - punts can be hired at Scudamore's Boat Hire down river to Granchester and back.Läs mer
