Colliford Lake and Dozmary Pool - 31/07/18
Welcome to my latest post detailing my adventures with Evie!
 |
| Colliford Lake boasts some nice beaches |
Colliford Lake has been on my 'to visit' list for a very long time. As the largest (I think) lake in Cornwall, I have always wanted to go there and see just how big it is in person.
 |
| Evie found herself a nice large stick |
Although I've driven past it a few times, and even been to one of the car parks there, I've never actually wandered down to see it!
 |
| Surprisingly nice sand for a lake! |
My aim was to actually walk all the way around it but, in hindsight, I'm glad I didn't! The lake is huge, and I even discovered an extra part of it as I drove around to Dozmary Pool.
 |
| Found some wild horses |
 |
They were very relaxed when faced with Evie and I
|
Evie loved walking around the lake and was surprisingly well-behaved off the lead.
 |
| The lake certainly offered some beautiful photo opportunities |
 |
| Evie loved it! |
 |
| Look who found another stick... |
 |
| The horses even came down for a drink |
I only walked for about 45 minutes along the lake, and then back again, but since I've looked on maps how far I went, I'm quite surprised!
Maybe one day I will pack a bag for us and spend the day walking the entire edge.
After visiting Colliford Lake, I drove around the lake to a little one called Dozmary Pool.
 |
Just from the path down you could see why
this lake is one of legends |
You might remember from some of my previous posts that I am a huge fan of Arthurian legend, and so Dozmary Pool was another legendary place to tick off my list.
 |
Although smaller than Colliford, Dozmary is just as
breathtaking |
Dozmary Pool is the rumoured home of the Lady of the Lake, and the resting place of Excalibur, where it was returned after Arthur's death.
 |
| I'm quite jealous of the houses on the edge of the pool! |
At the pool, we found these two dogs that were collar-less and wandering around without an owner... After asking at the nearby houses, I eventually found out that they belonged to the farm up the road.
They were very friendly and Evie adored them!
You can certainly see why Dozmary Pool is a place of legends! There was certainly a mystical feel as I walked around the lake.
Thanks for reading! I hope you are enjoying Evie and my adventures!
