It is also said that its water is salty due to its being connected by an underground passage to the Atlantic. A contributor to the magazine The Reliquary, Henry Kirke, wrote a poem about a young man who drowned in the pool after he had fallen in love with her.[1] Another version describes her rather as a nymph who lives on Kinder Scout, and who bathes in the pool daily. This version describes how a local man to whom she took a liking was led by her to a nearby cavern, and whom she made immortal. This promise of immortality is said to apply to anyone who sees the mermaid on Easter Eve.[2] References1. ^{{cite journal | last = Kirke | first = Henry | title = The Mermaid’s Pool | journal = The Reliquary | volume = IX | pages = 149–150 | location = London | publisher = Bemrose & Son | year=1869}} {{Derbyshire-geo-stub}}2. ^{{cite book | last = Hope | first = Robert Charles | title = The Legendary Lore of the Holy Wells of England | publisher = Elliot Stock | year = 1893 | location = London }} 1 : Peak District |
