Duck's Pool, Dartmoor

Duck's Pool is a small depression set in a remote location in the southern half of Dartmoor, Devon, England at grid reference SX624678.

No record exists of it having been a water-filled pool although there is a suggestion that it was drained by tin miners.

However, in all but the driest periods, the area is usually boggy, and may have a small amount of standing water.

A number of Dartmoor authors suggest that it may be the one recorded as being in use in the Forester's Accounts of 1532.

In memory of Dartmoor author William Crossing a plaque and letterbox were placed at Duck's Pool by some members of a walking club known as Dobson's Moormen and other people in 1938.
