Dating from 1150 AD, these are some of the best preserved ponds in East Anglia. There are 5 ponds spread over 3 acres and the grass is mown by Hebridean black sheep. There is a circular walk around the ponds with display boards explaining the history and management of the site. Suitable footwear is recommended.
