Things to do
The site is linked with a long line of mystical happenings and was a practising ground for water worship rituals among the ancient Celts. The reason for this was that the water is salinated which is a peculiarity for an inland lake. And also, the nearby waterfall of Kinder Downfall often appears to have the mythical quality of water flowing upwards on a windy day.
