This lot, however, was not marked as one for Loe Pool specifically, and we were not sure we were in the right place. We started hiking with the faith that this was the right trail. Behind Loe Bar is Loe Pool. We took the high road and climbed down a steep hillside to a tree trunk that had fallen down near the water. From here we could see down the whole length of the pool.
Swans swam on our left and the bay was to the right.
And we couldn't have asked for better weather. The sun was out and the clouds reflected off the water. The pool had a more classic beauty than many of the others, but lacked the mysterious character of Dozmary Pool. Local folklore is still alive and well in the area. We ate lunch at a pub in Porthleven called the Atlantic Inn, which was run by a nice chap named Roger Baker.
