Searching For Mermaid's! | Wild Swimming (swim & sink)

I embarked on a midweek adventure to try and find mermaids pool in the peak district. I set off after work so time was against me, after a bit of rambling and head scratching I finally found the infomous home of the mermaid.

Mermaid’s Pool is a small pool on Kinder Scout in Derbyshire, England, which, according to legend, is inhabited by a beautiful mermaid who can be seen if you look into the water at sunrise on Easter Sunday. It is also said that its water is salty due to its being connected by an underground passage to the Atlantic. Henry Kirke wrote a poem about a young man who drowned in the pool after he had fallen in love with her. I had no such luck but hopfully i'll find her on tinder one day.

Another version describes her rather as a nymph who lives on Kinder Scout, and who bathes in the pool daily. This version describes how a local man to whom she took a liking was led by her to a nearby cavern, and whom she made immortal. This promise of immortality is said to apply to anyone who sees the mermaid on Easter Eve.

All in all it was a great midweek adventure and one of the best sunsets I've seen in recent times.

**Warning** : If you are going to go dunk yourself in the mermaids pool be careful, it's extremely boggy so tread with caution!
