This tiny little pool is said to be home to a malicious mermaid named Jenny Greenteeth. The mysterious Doxey Pool can be found on the path that runs across the top of the Roaches, a gritstone escarpment not far from the Staffordshire/Derbyshire border.

It is a very unusual find on the walk. Sadly there was a blazing fire here that stretched across the upper tier of The Roaches last summer. All heather and grasses are gone and even the lower nature reserve has had the tree tops badly scorched. A real tragedy.

(Jenny Greenteeth sounds like one ugly mermaid.)

Vandring

There can't be many viewpoints that beat the Roaches within the UK. Views of the Wrekin, Malverns, Long Mynd and Shropshire Hills. The Cambrian Mountains, Snowdonia and the Clwydians further north. All across the Cheshire plain to Chester and north to Manchester , with the southern Pennines hills rising behind in the distance. It's also fun trying to spot the big disc of the massive Lovel telescope at Jodrell Bank which is easy or hard depending on which way the disc is pointing and if it's a sunny day.
