Nice quiet little area enclosed and safe from the road.
Great place for a bit of pond dipping
Great little gem to be in, lots of seating and the perfect place for a picnic. Normally quite quiet but can have a fair amount of people on nice days, you'll normally have some people fishing here too.
This is a beautiful space and there are fish in the pond but it badly needs and deserves some TLC, and would really do well with a little picnic area or cafe. Disability/pram access to this area is poor, but I hear rumours that local groups and Cllrs are starting to make enquiries to be able to change that. Vegetation in the pond is very overgrown, but the fishing pegs are sturdy and it's a lovely place to sit on a sunny day IF you are not someone with mobility needs or young kids.
Pond has been cleaned up and better seating provided, should be decent for fishing when weather warms,also for kids to see there's a few terrapins living in the pond
