Part of Cave Pond ("Private Property) viewed from just off a public footpath that continues on towards Blidworth Lane. (Walkers using the Robin Hood Trail will have turned off this particular path five minutes earlier, in the direction of Providence Farm). Tradition has it that when the curtal friar, Friar Tuck, was evicted from his cave after a seven year period of 'defending' a nearby chapel that containing a holy shrine, the well that supplied this pond dried up for the same length of time as the result of a curse placed on it by the canons of Newstead Abbey and that ever since then, the well has only produced water every seventh year.
