It's a triangular pool with a sloping stony beach on one side, a slab on another and a low crag, perfect for jumping off on the third. The beck enters down a chute between the slab and the crag. It's a perfect swimming pool. It was originally the water supply for Rydal Hall, so it was technically perhaps a reservoir once Mike. When I started going someone had painted a big sign on the slab telling people to keep out. None of the local youth who could be bothered to walk that far took any notice and we were never chased away.
