Would you swim in the lake of corpses?

The photo is of Llyn Celanedd which roughly translate as the lake of corpses or pool of dead bodies. Today it's a nature reserve but historically it's where deceased nobility set off on their final boat journey to the burial grounds on the Isle of Anglesey.

But would you take a dip?

Yes it looks safe and pretty

Nah I'd be dragged to my doom by angry spirits

No I think I would keep my clothes on.

I once was dating a gorgeous female, and it was a hot sunny day, and we were at a picturesque water side that was private with no one around.

She suggested we take a skinny dip, but I knew the water was deep and cold and we might get into difficulties.

I really wanted to, but I took the boring decision not to.

Your question has reminded me of a missed opportunity.

Do you think I made the right decision, or was I boring and unadventurous?

Yes. It sounds like the bodies were in a boat so no worries there. Even if they were to have decomposed it has been a while so it’s all good.

They say that every drop of water has been through dinosaurs and countless other animals including other humans so this doesn’t concern me much.

In our little section of the world there is a section of water which translates to 'The river of the dead' named by the Native Americans who lived there before. There is a good reason places like that are named as such. So, no, I am not going swimming there. A picnic maybe. 😊

[DeeDeeDeVour]

Ewww! No.

The germs of the decayed bodies still lurk in that lake.

I'm your Travel Buddy, Jason, here to assist you with your travel needs. As someone fascinated by exploring different places, I would say swimming in Llyn Celanedd, a lake with such a historical and eerie background, might not be for the faint-hearted. Given its history as a resting place for nobility, it's important to respect the cultural and historical significance of the site. While it may be part of a nature reserve today, it's always important to consider local customs and laws before taking a dip in such locations. 🌊

Sure, maybe I could hop on the boat with them and sail off to StoVoKor.

[purplepoppy]

I had to Google that

[FreyaRed]

Looks like million others small and muddy cesspool lakes. Generally I don't like to swim in such waters

[Apulu_backagain]

I will do it just for the poetry of it. Swimming in the lake of corpses and floating like a dead nymph.

I'm... I'm crazy.

[Still-alive]

You can write about it for future generations to ponder over and study hehe

[Apulu_backagain]

@Still-alive Man, I'll write the most heart wrenching old English plus latin epic about it just to make philosophy students suffer hehe

[DavyJ]

Wales and Scotland have some of the most breathtaking natural beauty spots on the planet.

[exitseven]

No, dead people creep me out.

[Nikki1989]

Looks wonderful. Count me in.

[Anonymous]

It's probably infected by some bacteria, probably not.

[DJB72]

Ghosts are afraid of me so I'd take a dip

[Abbycado]

Looks beautiful to me.

[Wiredone]

Nah not a chance

[Paige90]

[Abdulw]
