"I only know that you may lie, Day-long and watch the Cambridge sky, And, flower-lulled in sleepy grass, Hear the cool lapse of hours pass, Until the centuries blend and blur, In Grantchester, in Grantchester...", Rupert Brooke, 1912. Following the Grantchester Grind – the riverside footpath that traces the Cam upstream (where it is named the Granta) – or even travelling by punt through meadows, is a summertime indulgence that takes the visitor back to the lazy days of a century ago. The village of Grantchester, however, dates from much earlier – there is a medieval church, thatched cottages and a pool where Lord Byron used to swim.
