Sturts Trail – Pond 2

Pond 2
As you walk into Sheep Cott Meadow you pass Pond 2 to your left by the gate.

Modified pond
Pond 2 is one of a number of ponds in this corner of the field which have been heavily modified to improve drainage, provide drinking water for cattle and possibly by the extraction of clay. However it is still valuable for wildlife and is being managed to reduce shading by overhanging willow trees.

Near Pond 2
There is another modified pond near to the gate into Sheep Cott Meadow.
