Mermaid's Pool

Mermaid's Pool

Mermaid's Pool is a legend linked to a pool located in the mountainous ridges of The Roaches near Staffordshire, England. According to legend, it's said to share something of a mysterious link with the Atlantic ocean, yet be poisonous to animals and fish. Legend has it, too, that the mermaid appears but once a year on Easter Eve at midnight, and anyone who sees her is either given the gift of immortality, or drawn into the depths of the pool to face their doom.

It's been supposed that the legend above is in truth best associated with the other Mermaid's Pool on Kinder Scout in Derbyshire, and not that in Staffordshire.
