According to legend and lore, there lives an immortal mermaid at Kinder Scout. She is said to come down from her cave once a day and take a bath in the pool that forms in the River Kinder beneath. Known as Mermaid's Pool, lucky travellers who are able to see her are granted the wish of immortality. Furthermore, if you go at dawn on Easter Day you have the most chance of seeing her. Beware, though, as with all mermaids, freshwater mermaids are equally as dangerous. If you catch her bathing and do not do exactly as she wishes, she will drown you there and then.
