Crystal clear

Nestled in a hollow, right next to the Ackling Dyke Roman Road (course of) is the Crystal clear pool of an emerging chalk spring. So beautiful, water so clear it's as if it's not there.  These chalk springs and the streams they feed are a feature of the Cranborne Chase landscape, and are always full of life. They always look so inviting, give your aching feet a refresh, though even on a hot summers day, coming from deep underground as they do, the springs and streams numb your toes in moments. Not that I'm trying that today.
