Description
Wildlife
The pond is fed by a spring and fringed with willows, alders and other trees. It supports breeding waterfowl, including tufted ducks, mallards, coots and Canada geese, which nest on a wooded island. A good variety of fish, including roach, crucian carp, common carp and sticklebacks, are present. The park is likely to be of value to other wildlife, including foraging bats, amphibians, notably common frog and toad, and invertebrates, particularly dragonflies and stag beetles. The rest of the park is currently of limited nature conservation value, although it contains a couple of fine old hornbeams, and a large dead wood feature.Facilities
