Dist:0.5km<br/>A pair of this spectacular duck (the brightly coloured drake on the left, the much drabber female on the right) on the lake at Claremont Landscape Garden. A native of Chinea, Japan, Korea and SE Siberia, it was first introduced to England around the middle of the 18th century in Richmond. Later releases included Woburn and Windsor Great Park, with dispersal from the latter, along with further subsequent introductions, accounting for much of the population in south east England, as here.

  • What's missing in Weybridge

    Hi, I'm looking to open a new restaurant in Weybridge and wonder if a sushi bar would be a good / bad idea. Any thoughts / comments would be really helpful! Many thanks!
