SP8413 : Aylesbury: Pond by Bear Brook

taken 10 years ago, near to Broughton, Buckinghamshire, England

Aylesbury: Pond by Bear Brook
Aylesbury: Pond by Bear Brook
When the Aylesbury Flood Alleviation Scheme was being planned and built an existing low-lying area near the prone to flood Bear Brook was excavated to make this pond. The small island in the middle seen here was designed as a refuge for roosting birds.

The boundary between the Civil Parishes of Aylesbury, to the left, and Bierton with Broughton, to the right, runs more or less down the middle of the pond.
