The Silent Pool refers to a lake fed by a spring on the south side of the North Downs Way on the Hog's Back 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. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silent_Pool http://www.zurichmansion.org/lakes/silent.html Jan 18 08, 4:46 PM
