Dist:0.6km north<br/>This large pond (lake really) is part of Fishers Pond Fishery which supplies coarse fish to angling clubs. The pond is drained once a year to enable all fish in it to be taken out. It is then left empty for a while, possibly to control disease, before being allowed to refill naturally from the stream that flows through it. The JCB is removing mud from the pond. The spiky items along the centre line of the pond are aeration machines which normally float on the surface.
