Mysteries lurking in the waters of the legendary “bottomless pit”, formally called ‘Chapman’s Pond’, are endless.

Not only is it incredibly rare to have such a vast and deep pool of natural water so close to the sea, it has also captured the imagination of locals and is now a firm part of the area’s folklore.

The pond has become local legend over the years, the most popular of which is that it is bottomless.

Some believe that the ghost of a young girl who fell in and drowned now haunts it. There have been several reports of her allegedly splashing about in the pond screaming for help. It is said that when the alarm is being raised, she vanishes without a trace.

Others believe a runaway horse and cart fell into the pit.
