silent poolとは 意味・読み方・使い方

The Silent Pool is a lake fed by a spring on the south side of the North Downs Way near Albury, Surrey. In the area there are two lakes. The Silent Pool is the higher one; the lower lake is called Sherbourne Pond which was created 1662. The Silent Pool, however, is of a much earlier origin and is considered by some to be a sacred site. It is linked to a folklore tale that says King John on his horse abducted a woodcutter’s daughter who was forced into the deep water and drowned. According to the legend, the maiden can be seen at midnight.
