Dozmary Pool

The glassy expanse of Dozmary Pool is a mysterious place for a walk. Legend holds that King Arthur was given his famous sword, Excalibur, by the Lady of the Lake here. Another tale tells of Jan Tregeagle, who made a pact with the devil and was damned to spend his days emptying the supposedly bottomless pool with a leaking limpet shell.
