Secrets of Devon 7: The Crazy Well Pool
The Crazy Well Pool is an eerie, deep body of water surrounded by windswept moorland that completely avoids casual tourist traffic. Shrouded in local folklore, 19th-century legends claimed the waters were bottomless and linked directly to the tides of the distant sea. Visitors describe it as a serene, hauntingly beautiful destination for adventurous hikers and wild swimmers who want to feel completely cut off from the modern world.
The Vibe: Ghostly, isolated, and highly atmospheric according to local explorers.
The Legend: Local lore says the pool is haunted, and its water level inexplicably mimics the ocean's tides.
Getting There: It requires a rugged hike across open moorland near Princetown, keeping casual crowds away.
