点评:What a stunning place! We were visiting Dorset in a week which was not blessed with an excellent weather forecast, but we got lucky with one unexpectedly beautiful day and the Blue Pool was a wonderful place to spend it. The pool really is an incredible blue/green depending on how the light catches it. There are several lovely trails to follow, including right around the edge of the pool and off into the surrounding woodland. Though we are grown adults we adored the fairy door trail and just the sheer peace and quiet around the site. For families, as well as the fairy doors there is a really nice woodland play area. The rope bridge is also great fun, though not for those with a fear of heights!
After a good walk following all the various trails, we stopped at the cafe for a cream tea which was delicious and reasonably priced. We were joined for our tea by a very persistent peacock who was ready and willing to gobble up any crumbs we might drop! Very handsome chap and not at all shy.
All in all we had the most amazing visit which exceeded our expectations. I am really surprised by comments that say it's too expensive. While the gift shop was a little on the pricey side, entry to the site is really extremely reasonable given the amount of work it must take to maintain it. I could have spent all day here happily wandering, sitting, relaxing. If I lived nearby I would have bought an annual pass there and then; as it is, I am travelling back down to the area in September and 100% will be visiting again.

沿着各种步道漫步之后,我们在咖啡馆停下来享用了美味的奶油茶,价格也很合理。一只非常执着的孔雀也加入了我们,它随时准备吃掉我们掉落的任何碎屑!这只孔雀长得非常漂亮,而且一点也不害羞。
总而言之,这次旅行太棒了,远远超出了我们的预期。看到有人说这里太贵,我真的非常惊讶。虽然礼品店的东西确实有点小贵,但考虑到维护这座景点需要投入大量精力,门票价格真的非常合理。我可以在这里悠闲地待上一整天,漫步、休憩、放松。如果我住在附近,我肯定会当场办一张年票;不过,我九月份还会再去那边,到时候肯定还会再来。
