Recent visits back to the sticks has taken my partner and i on a bit of a wonder to see some of the most beautiful sights in England.
Our Rambles took us to a mysterious place where legend has it, mermaids live and dark tales of murder and witchcraft have been talked about for centuries.
The picture above is of the Mermaid Pool at Blakemere. The view is over looking a old market town of Leek. The pool is supposed to be bottomless and contains a mermaid. The mermaid was once a beautiful young woman who was believed to be a witch and was thrown into the pool to her death, as she cursed the people who did this, she cursed the pool and since no animal or bird will drink from the pool and no matter the weather it will never freeze over.
The legend has continued over a thousand years and ever today as we stood near the pool it has a quiet eerie feel to it, although the view takes your breath away.
