Just a week back, I found myself standing by the windswept edge of Dozmary Pool. Tucked away on the hauntingly beautiful Bodmin Moor, it’s not just the stillness of the water that holds you, but the weight of the stories tied to it.

They say it’s here the Lady of the Lake gave Excalibur to Arthur, and also here it was returned, swallowed back into the depths as his story came to a close. Whether you believe in myths or not, there's something about the air that drips with ancient stories. Timeless.

And then there’s Tregeagle; a poor soul cursed to scoop water from the pool with a leaky limpet shell, punishment for striking a bargain with the devil.

More than just a tick off the list — this one's staying with me.

The Eye Well (or Bree Shute Well) in Bodmin—steeped in history and once famed for healing troubled eyes. The name "Bree" comes from the Cornish word for hill.

The water here was once used by locals and even considered “fairly good” by a 19th-century report… though it turned out to be highly contaminated and possibly fatal. Sadly, the water today doesn’t look much better—I certainly wouldn’t fancy a drink!
