    Just outside of Ebrach you will find a number of ponds in a valley amidst a dense beech forest. The Cistercian monks from the abbey of Ebrach have created the ponds to breed carp and other fish for Lent. Today, the wetland is under protection and forms an important habitat for birds, insects and amphibians.
