Byron's Pool, Local nature reserve in Grantchester, United Kingdom
The 4.4-hectare nature reserve encompasses woodland areas, multiple ponds, and a section of the River Cam with diverse plant species.
The land belonged to Trumpington Hall Estate until 1949, when it was acquired and later designated as a local nature reserve in 2005.
Lord Byron, during his time at Trinity College, regularly swam in the weir pool, leading to the current name of this natural area.
Visitors can access the reserve via Grantchester Road, with a free parking area that includes a height restriction of 1.9 meters.
The reserve contains six maintained ponds that provide breeding grounds for common frogs and newts throughout the seasonal cycles.
