Blue Pool   Description The Blue Pool was a Former clay pit dug in about 1840, production continued until all the usable clay was taken out. The clay was used to make tobacco pipes and fine china for such famous names as Wedgwood, Minton and Royal Worcester. The Blue Pool’s colour is actually caused by the fine clay in suspension in the water. The Pool is surrounded by 25 acres of heath woodland interlaced with sandy paths. There is also a museum that records the history of clay production in the area.     Open Beginning of March to the end of November Daily, 9am - 5pm (later in the summer).     Prices Free entry for under 5s     Contact Furzebrook, Nr.
