View of the Blue Pool from high up in the surrounding woodland. This beautiful Blue Pool, has been created from an old disused clay pit. The colour of the water is dependant upon the weather conditions. Minute particles of clay suspended in the water reflect light from the sky, giving the water its blue colour. Colours vary from blue to green to turquoise. More often than not, the water appears as turquoise. A very popular tourist location the pool is surrounded by acres of woodland inhabited by a variety of wildlife.
