Lake / Pond

We were really pleased to find, amongst scrub, an existing wildlife pond on site and after advice from ecologists and local wildlife trusts we have worked hard to clear willow and scrub around the pond to improve the quality of water and availability to wildlife. Almost immediately we had ducks and other birds visiting the pond, including nightingale. This beautiful pond will always remain as it is, a wildlife haven.

As the site is so waterlogged in the winter and clearly suited to holding water we felt a large pond / lake would enhance the area of field that at the moment is either boggy mud in the winter or bare soil / dead grass in the summer.

Follow us as we go through planning permission and then hopefully the process of digging our lake.

Our vision is to create a small intimate pool which can be hired as an exclusive booking in conjunction with our lakeside cabins.

In addition we hope to run tuition and support for children and adults with their mental health. As well as family days for parents to share time in nature with their children.

Test hole, holds water pretty well in our clay soil.

Rough idea of the lake plan.
