Dozmary Pool

This pool is situated on Bodmin Moor, just to the east of Colliford Lake, about six miles from Slaughter Bridge, the traditional Cornish location for Camlann. It is about one mile away from 'Jamaica Inn', the eighteenth-century smuggler's hideout made famous by the 1936 Daphne Du Maurier novel of the same name, (later turned into a film).

Another legend claims that this is where Sir Bedivere, commanded by the wounded King Arthur threw the sword Excalibur into the water which was taken by the Lady of the Lake.

Yet another legend about this pool is that it was said to be bottomless... this was proven untrue when in the drought of 1976 dried up.
