Search for a Lake

When Mr and Mrs Swain of Ilminster, Somerset and their sons were on holiday near Beaulieu Abbey in the New Forest in Hampshire in 1952 they came across a lake while driving through a network of lanes. At the centre was a boulder and embedded within it a sword extraordinarily reminiscent of Excalibur in the legend of King Arthur. They have been unable to find the lake again.

This has not been for want of trying. Approximately once every three weeks in the years since their initial experience, the Swains have tried to locate the lake without success. However they are determined not to give up until they clear up the mystery. When their story reached the the Daily Mirror, on 10 November 1969, they had made approximately 250 visits over seventeen years without success.
