Farmland Features
| Two views from opposite sides of this substantial man-made pond, originally many years old and excavated from the natural hollow for use as watering for grazing cattle. Its water supply follows the spring line running downhill parallel to the field hedge. Over time, the pond had fallen into disuse until the decision was taken to dredge it, lay a loose gravel path and adopt a planting scheme which includes marginals. The ducks could be real, but in this case are copper ornament, a feature apparent only on close inspection. |

Nature will soon heal the scars as the planting takes hold and matures to form a favourite place in which to stroll in the late afternoon sun. Landscaping is not necessarily solely the domain of the urban environment. |
