The Pond

Water flows into the pond from woodland streams and is then piped under the Recreation Ground.

The pond is important for amphibians, supporting large numbers of common frog, smooth newt and palmate newt. Ponds throughout the Bourne Valley are very important for dragonflies and damselflies.

The Woods
