Pond, Nuthall

Mostly hidden from view by bushes on its northern side, this pond is to be found beyond a small strip of woodland beside the busy A610. Bordered by the trees on its south side, at the western end it is fringed with reeds and thistles where we saw ringlet, meadow brown, gatekeeper and large skipper butterflies. A moorhen swam lazily across the water, and a heron flew over. Heron have often been observed in the vicinity. The best view of the pond may be obtained from its eastern end, alongside which the footpath passes. See also SK5243 : Pond, Nuthall and SK5243 : Pond, Nuthall.
