Close to the ancient town of Wareham in the English county of Dorset is a visitor attraction that is not quite like any other. It is a chameleon place, for more than one reason, and it's called the Blue Pool. The Blue Pool at Furzebrook was once a claypit, which accounts for a rare phenomenon that has attracted visitors from across the world ever since it opened to the public in 1935. It retains miniscule, light diffracting particles of clay in the water, causing a spectrum of colour variations, sometimes from minute to minute. Now deep turquoise, now emerald green, the Pool is a constantly changing delight to the eye. For visiting times and other information please give us a call or visit our website.
