Doxey pool

Doxey pool

Doxey Pool is a small pool of water that measures about 15X10m in size and can be found along the top path of The Roaches in Staffordshire at grid ref. SK004628. It isn't very deep but is still a distinctive feature when you find it. This area is great for walking but is also a popular climbing area.

Legends

Legend has it that this pool is inhabited by a mermaid called Jenny Greenteeth which is known as the blue nymph. The legend says that she fell in the pool on a foggy day whilst walking along the top of the Roaches. Ever since that day she has been enticing unsuspecting victims down to the pool and to their watery grave.[2]
