A small, woodland-encircled marl pool famed for its pale blue water and local mermaid folklore. Photograph reflective water, textured reed margins, and intimate forest compositions. Best at sunrise or after rain for rich reflections and mist; golden hour enhances trunks and ripples. Accessible by short walk from Blake Mere car park on rural lanes; no formal entry fee but bring waterproof shoes for muddy paths. Quiet weekdays give the best solitude; respect private land signs and local wildlife.
